luluc 6 Posted December 31, 2008 I've never used or seen one before, but I was told that you put a salt Water solution into this Nettie pot and some how pour it into your nose. It is supposed to clear the nasal passages. I had been told to get one because I have sinus issues. Just the thought of pouring any liquid up my nose ...**shudders** ok - my nose feels like it's 5lbs right now full of NASTINESS, and that doesn't sound the least bit like something i would try for relief... i rather bitch to DH, in hopes he goes hunting sooner rather than LATER...

BethFromVA 5 Posted December 31, 2008 The pot and how it's used sounds very weird, but after one use, I'm sold. You lean your head over to one side and pour in the other nostril, so it just runs through the sinuses. The thought of pouring Water up your nose sounds horrible, but I did it without a problem. I was draining SO bad before, but I swear, I haven't drained at ALL since I did it. I actually slept last night, though I did wake up coughing a few times. As miserable as I was, I would have done ANYthing to make it stop, and stop it did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like just what you need, then. It's a warm Water lavage which washes it all out. That's what's so great about it... it literally flushes the nasal passages. Okay, now I sound like I I work for the company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted December 31, 2008 It sounds good, but I just can't imagine pouring Water in my nostrils. It sounds, well, like it might be painful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BethFromVA 5 Posted December 31, 2008 It sounds good, but I just can't imagine pouring Water in my nostrils. It sounds, well, like it might be painful. It sounds like it, but it was REALLY soothing. Warm water, the solution in it didn't burn (but DID dry after it was over though not in a bad way), and then it was done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plain 12 Posted December 31, 2008 I know... once I would get into the groove of it, it DID feel good. So I really WANT to start my affair with Richard again. But you know when that burning yearning will end? About five minutes after I feel good. Hearing a woman admit to an affair w/ Richard Simmons......man, I didn't see that coming! It was a bit strange, but it really wasn't bad at all. That's what my wife said on our wedding night! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*susan* 1,709 Posted December 31, 2008 So, I was doing this friend quiz on Facebook and it kept asking me if I thought whatever friend's name they brought up had ever done an Eiffel Tower. I was like, wtf is an Eiffel Tower? I asked my son, who did not know but quickly referred me to Urban Dictionary, and now, not only do I know what an Eiffel Tower is, I am becoming quite educated on many other phrases that I had no idea of their meanings. I feel so Enlightened.< a href="http://www.lapbandtalk.com/www.urbandictionary.com" rel="external nofollow"> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
