View Full Version : Snot. At least two pounds of it.

So...
I have nasal polyps.
Apparently they are the size of grapes, and cause a lot of my nasal problems, so I'll be going in for surgery soon. But in the meantime, I have a NASAL RINSE KIT to clear away excess snot. Turns out, I've already lost two pounds.

The directions of this kit indicate that you shoot this formula (very saline like) up one side of your nose until it runs out either the other side of your nose or your mouth. When it runs out your mouth, your gag reflexes kick in, of course.

Afterwords it feels like you've gargled with a saltine cracker shake.

Just thought I'd share.

Ugh. That's disgusting. Hope you get rid of those polyps as quick as possible.

mmmmmm... polyps... :jack1
I had mine taken out along with my tonsils. Didn't feel anything except for a soar throat after teh surgery. Can't even remember me being wheeled in for surgery either!.
All I remember is that I got this pill.... Then everything went black... Next thing I know I'm opening up my eyes and I'm in my room with the nurse telling me it's over.
Best experience ever.

Anyway, best of luck with yer operation.
MAKE SURE TO KEEP THOSE POLYPS IN A JAR TO SHOW THEM OFF TO FUTURE GENERATIONS.

Whoa.. I'm confused.

How could you not be aware of grape-sized growths in your nose before?
I'm no doctor or anything, but I didn't think the nasal cavity was that big.

Well, good luck with them anyway.

You'd be surprised at how big it can get.
