HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You are hilarious! But not much of an evangelist, since after reading this I still have no desire to snort saltwater.

Your description makes me want to baby my nose and finally start my exercise program that I have been delaying. What’s the connection? The aerobics makes you so aware of the joy of deep breathing.

Laughing. I actually had to do this once, but in a slightly different way (was in Thailand and had a horrible cold, and they wouldn’t let me dive until I did it to clear my passages out — I had to snort ocean water). It felt awful, yet…really nice too. I totally know what you mean.

RW: that might take out more of my brain than i can spare.
serap: all right – i say give it a try! this has got to flush out the dust mites!
tracy lynn: i tried that flonase… made my throat burn!
jane: ha! a friend of mine saw that oprah and mentioned it to me – she controls us ALL!
claire: like i said… oprah controls the world economy.
heather anne: making you laugh makes all the nasal flushing worthwhile…

I read this post this morning and have been laughing out loud about it all day. Thankee, Jenny.

If not for tv, I wouldn’t have known about it either…

I’ll echo the neti pot recommendation. I keep trying to get my allergy-prone family members to get them and now it seems I may have succeeded with my sister…but only because Oprah featured them recently.

Due to my years of shoving various substances up my nose, I have constant nasal problems, and am now forced to squirt that Flonase up my nose once a day.
And you STILL couldn’t pay me to snort salt water. You go, girl.

That sounds brilliant! I honestly think I might give it a go. I’m allergic to dust mites, so often have similar problems to you – I tried the steroid nasal spray twice a day for a week and I swear I didn’t need to blow my nose for about 3 weeks. Good luck!

Vacuum cleaner. Never fails.
