My chronic rhinitis and I will just stay over here…
I woke up hungover, happy birthday dad.
All i hear now is my nose whistle
Yes it is, I fucking hate autumn and winter.
I think about this every time I start to get sick.
I’m gonna be sad now, thanks.
Me too. I’ve had a sinus headache for over 10 years straight. I don’t even remember what it’s like to not be congested. Three surgeries and more drugs than I ever knew existed have done nothing. Good health is definitely underappreciated.
Me too. Allergies can kiss my nuts. I get a break like once every 6 months or so.
This is a PSA Announcement:
An orgasm instantly clears out the sinuses. Due to lack of studies doctors don’t fully know why this happens.
Holy crap, it’s true. Instantly might be optimistic, and they talk only about orgasms during sex (although they don’t say other orgasms won’t help), but it’s genuinely backed up by doctors. Apparently it has to do with how your blood vessels react to excitement and exertion.
For best results, get on top since then gravity is working with you.
Don’t work when you smoke weed.
I rarely smoke it (haven’t in at least 4 years), but when I do and sex happens, I can’t breathe and I end up totally stopped up for at least an hour.
I have allergies too though.
Orgasms, exercise and other “arousal” stimuli like fear or aggression make your blood vessels shrink (vasoconstriction). From the link I posted above: “During arousal, your sympathetic nervous system — the one that activates your fight-or-flight response — kicks in. Just as when you exercise, your adrenaline levels go up and your blood vessels constrict. Less blood flow to your nose means less inflammation, so your nose opens up and you can breathe more easily.”
THC can cause vasodilatation, which is the opposite (blood vessels expand) so it makes sense they’d reduce effects or cancel each other out. Fun fact from the same article, it’s also what causes the bloodshot eyes associated using weed.
It’s beautiful
wat
😭 I woke up sick today.
high five (ehm I can’t type emoji)
Your nose isn’t runny, but can you breathe easily through both nostrils?
Nope, but it’s a feature
Your nose isn’t runny, but can you breathe easily
through both nostrils?🥲
yesWeirdly enough, I literally can right now. Usually I cannot. I don’t remember the last time this was the case and I would not have noticed without this post.
As someone who gets a runny nose every time I eat…
Dang
I wish I could use both hands, remember faces, and walk without a cane.
Of course, there is always someone who says they wish they could have both hands, be able to remember anything, and walk at all.
And there are people who have no limb who wish they could have one, and would long for any mobility at all.
I’m grateful for what I got, but in a true human sense, I want more.
I had a friend next door growing up. Amputee just below the knee, stubs for fingers, cleft lip. Loved playing Mario on nes and would kick his prosthetic off when he was on the swings.
This is why masks.
The feeling when you physically notice your cold improving, you can breathe through both nostrils, and you don’t feel fatigued and sore anymore is an amazing feeling.
Me eating something spicy: “I’ll fucking do it again!”
Me, later: Why does it hurt? Oh god I think I have food poisoning. Is this diarrea?
Nope, just the spiciness I forgot about.
