“After surgery, everything changed!” 💪 For “After surgery, everything changed!” 💪  For as long as he can remember, William Daniels has loved science and medicine. Born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, he studied biology and neuroscience, worked in cancer research, and is now a medical student.  Alongside his studies, William has lived with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP), a condition that began in his teens.  “It felt like plugging your nose completely shut and trying to live that way. I thought maybe everyone felt this awful all the time.”  For years, he was misdiagnosed with stubborn allergies until, at 19, an ENT finally confirmed CRSwNP.  “For the first time, it made sense. It was validating to hear that all the medications hadn’t worked because I needed more than allergy pills. I needed surgery.”  At St. Paul’s Hospital, William underwent a three-hour endoscopic sinus surgery.  “The surgery unleashed a potential I never knew I had.”  His smell and taste returned, his sleep and mood improved, and his grades skyrocketed.  “After surgery, everything changed! I went from the bottom of the class to the top almost overnight.”  To sustain his new quality of life, William relies on steroid rinses and a biologic medication.  “Some medications are thousands of dollars per dose. If it weren’t covered, I simply couldn’t afford it. Access to these drugs is detrimental in terms of quality of life.”  “People don’t realize how devastating this can be. You lose smell memory… you can’t enjoy food, you can’t make new memories.”  Today, William is thriving in medical school and conducting research.  “These treatments change lives, but they’re out of reach for too many people. We need better awareness, better access, and more research.” 💙  #nasalpolyps #chronicrhinosinusitis #chronicrhinosinusitiswithnasalpolyps #CRSwNP #student
