Nasal woes..

[opos]

SWIM has been hitting lines of H for a while and is worried that it could do permanent nasal damage like railing lines of coke. Is this possible? SWIMS nose is getting worse all the time, and concern is being aroused.

go to an ENT (Ear nose Throat) Doc and they can x-ray type thing on the naval canal to check it...i snort with the left only, always have...at the ENT when i went the Doc said my left side is over twice as wide as the right and severely mis-shapen...i am 19 years old..

SWIM is snorting 6 times a day and he has no damage at all. When he started, he had problems too though. Like, the thing in the back of his throat would get veeeery big and almost make him throw up. About one wek later it was gone and since then he never had problems again.

So, except they cut your dope with something really bad, you shouldnt have damage done to your nose. The problems should go away when you get used to it ....

You can do the following, which SWIM does sometimes: Buy you a nosewasher. This is a plastic bottle with a part that you can hold on one nostril. You put water with some salt (table salt is fine) in it, hold it to the nostril and the water runs through your nose and leaves it through the other nostril.

This is a good thing to do, even for people who dont use because it helps you getting rid of dust and so. Also, if you accidently snorted too much you can prevent an OD with it. Through the nose you always have some time to realize if your bang is going to be too hard. Then you just run to the bathroom and wash it out. Always helped SWIM. The point when he would do this was, when his legs started to shiver and he knew that he wouldnt be able to the bathroom in a few minutes and puke right away. So you always have time (if the H isnt like 100% when youre used to 5%).

On the other hand ... if DaOxyMan says that he got diagnosed a change in the nose structure ... I have a favourite nostrile too (my right) but that is because my left was always closed and wet and so to use this one would have been wasting H. I dont know, maybe my right nostrile has become big, too... It still feels healthy though and I still cant dig in it deeper than before ...:D So maybe DaOxyMan, you used your left always too, because it was easier? Then the difference in size might have been there before... But it could be from the H too ... For me .. no problems though ... so far.

make sure you purify your shit is my advise, if you want to roll like that if you know what I mean, take the time to clean your shit. And personally I think snorting fucks your body physically. If done right there are better routes of administration....

I feel for you... Snorting is SWIMS perfered method. Usually OC though. For the past 6 months SWIMS right nostril hasn't healed. Its is always scabbed over (on the inside), very painful, and bigger then the left one. SWIM has made a habbit of having a saline solution to help drainage. It is in any pharmacy. SWIM also uses rose bud salve or bacitration to help with the cracking, scabbing and bleeding. SWIM knows deep down she has to stop using this nostril, but the other dosenea work as well.

Peace

i suppose the biggness of my left could have always been there..cuz it has always been easier to snort on the left...but after 4 years of daily OC snortin, i noticed that like when its cold out, and i breath in thru my nose, it feels like its twice as deep as the right!! strangely, i have been snortin drugs for years and only got one nosebleed..but many bloody boogz

I dont snort since four years regularly, so youre probably right, that the nosy gets bigger. I mean snorting heroin, caffeine, lidocaine, paracetamol and whatever adulterants they add and then maybe coke and speed from timt to time as well as any other pharma one gets, must do harm to the nostrils.

Still, I find that it is way softer than cocaine. Coce gives SWIM nosebleeding every time. And then he too snorts into the bleeding nostril, which is shit... but who cares, as long as there is a bang?:(

Wow this is scary, though one point is hard to practice(the purifaction) it is time consuming and when someone rails out a track to train over you don't run off with it:) . I hear you though, this is a serious wake up call . SWIM has a phobia of needles , ironicaly he works with them and could make off with one whenever needed... thats always the way. So I guess SWIM wonders if it's back to smoking.

DaOxyMan:
Could your nasal passage growth actualy be your body responding to just allowing abrassive substance to clear the path? At 19 your still growing alot.

For now SWIM thanks god he picked his nose evenly as a kid and can hit up either side.

From what I have heard, snorting H is nowhere near as damaging as coke or even snorting most pills.

[bogumil]

Yes, I think so too. But man, I realized today, that it must affect the nostrils. I can scratch me deep inside the nose with a carpet knife, you know the ones with the long blade, maybe 0.4 cm in a diameter. Dude it doesnt even hurt! No matter how deep I go in the nose it wont hurt.

But dont ya think now that I have nothing better to do than scratching me in th enose with knifes.
