    Fair enough! :)

    I was surprised. I was doing some research and was stunned to find out how many functions the vagus nerve was involved with.

    It's one of the many things I should have known, but had forgotten! :o
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    I think , like me, it's been a few years since we were in the dissection rooms and learning the rude mnemonics for the 12 cranial nerves.

    Oh oh oh to touch and feel....very good velvet, ah heaven. ;)

    OP, I've never heard of post-op sneezing, hope it settles down! Glad your operation was successful. :)

    That's a bit cleaner than our version. Branches of external carotid and facial nerve were very rude too. But almost thirty years on still remember them.

    For the record and for my information, I am noting how many times each day this sneezing occurs so that if and when I do something about it, I will be able to tell them.

    That sounds like a good plan. And remember that it might just be a coincidence that it started after the op - do you think it might possibly be an allergy?

    Hadn't thought of that, but it does seem to be a coincidence thus far.
