I currently suffered from ENS for 9 months. After 2 weeks of operation my nose become worse. I do not know what happen to me and thinking to suicide coz I can only sleep 3 hours per day. Luckily, while surfing in internet to find some remedies. I found the empty nose syndrome website by noble Chris Martin , who give a lot of information regarding ENS. Now I know some treatments that can make me sleep better at night. I planning to sue the ENT doctor that make me suffered. Thanks Chris.

I suffer from chronic sinus problems. The descriptions of ENS symptoms are very related to my symptoms, although, I haven't had surgery done to my sinuses. Atleast, I have moments of comfort while watching television and going out to places. I'm desperatley looking for a cure for my sinuses without the need for surgery, so that I can avoid surgery if needed. I know what exactly ENS patients are going through and I totally agree that ENS needs to be properly researched to cure patients. I will pray everyday for all of us. God bless.

This problem needs to be addressed seriously as it is very depressing to see your loved ones suffer everyday of their lives.

Kindly look into this problem as a major dibilitating issue. Quality of life, personal relationships, work, ability to feel things in the same way as before are severely affected. As severe if not more than other sinus problems. A cure for this will give affected people a new reason to live and resume life with the same zeal and enthusiasm as before. Thanks

I believe this is a terrible problem that effects people in so many ways. More action needs to be taken to prevent ENS,and more money and research is needed to help those that already have ENS. Hopefully, by people signing this petition more will be done to prevent and treat ENS.

This condition has had a devastating effect on the lives of many people and should be recognized as a legitimate iatrogenic effect of surgery. Physicians should be made aware of the great harm that that can result from this relatively common surgery if care is not taken to avoid excessive tissue removal. This is also an unrecognized basis for future lawsuits against physicians. Legal action may be the only way to bring attention to the very serious consequences of surgery when the physician does not take adequate care.
