I hope you find success with the new doctor. It does sound promising.

Be careful with that experiment. Oxymetazoline, the active ingredient in Afrin, will cause difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep in some people. I am one of those people. If I apply Afrin at bedtime, it will be a long, mostly sleepless night. https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/dru ... de-effects

Found one publication in Google and now 2 more with Pubmed. Should have checked it before!

Thanks, I hope I have success with the new doctor too.

Good to know since I'm also having problems with insomnia now. I'm only going to try it once or twice as it can be addictive plus I have hypothyroidism.
