Can anyone tell me ,or will anyone try capsaicin cream? I have a report on a study from U. of Washington, done by Dr. Fusco . I was waiting to try it myself but things have been at peace for 2 years,nice change after more than 30 years. Capsaicin is an over the counter cream marketed as Zostrix , it,s applied with a cotton swab about an inch up the nostril on the affected side. After removing swab massage nostril for a full 20 seconds . The only side affect recorded is stinging or burning sensation the first four days. It,s supposed to chase the demons away in 4 to 7 days, in 34 out of 50 cases.
