i'm coming down with a cold, so i'm a little tired and achy and congested. this morning i figured i'd irrigate my sinuses with my neti pot and hopefully get some relief.
big mistake - while clearly not paying attention at all, i grabbed a bottle of distilled vinegar to fill the pot with, not distilled water. read on.
for those that don't know, a neti pot is a little device to pour warm salt water into one nostril and out the other. it helps a little with congestion, though i've never gotten the extreme benefits others have.
so, i open up the bottle of vinegar and warm it up in the microwave for about 20 seconds. not enough to give it any real heat, just a little above room temperature. it felt relatively cool to the touch. note that my nose is completely congested, so i didn't smell any vinegar at all. i added the little packet of salt and baking soda, filled up the pot, tilted it into my head.
and holy mother of god instantaneous pain as if i'd just jabbed a red hot poker up my nose.
the pain is utterly incomprehensibly blinding. i tried to blow it back out of my nose, but as i said - i'm congested. so it limply trickled back out as i gasped for air and my eye started to swell shut. i had no idea what had happened, i'd never had any issues like this before.
my first thought was that the brief time in the microwave had actually superheated the water and i'd burned my nose. i poured some out on my hand to check it, but had no issues. it was cool. my nose was still burning incredibly.
my next thought was that i'd improperly agitated the salt into the water, and had ended up dumping a salt sludge into my nose. and, that if that was the case, i needed to rinse the salt out immediately.
so i mixed the pot around thoroughly, checked the temperature again, checked to see if there was any residue (there wasn't), and hoping that it was resolved, dunked my nostril a second time. dammit.
again, blinding sheer pain. i nearly fell over, gasping for air, eye forcing its way shut, headache up my sinus passages. again, tried to blow as much as i could back of out my nose, but only got small quantities of mucus and blood. blood. great. even better.
i still had no idea what happened. i cleaned myself up as well as i could and staggered to the living room to sit down. it still felt like my nose was on fire. seriously - red hot poker up the nose seems like the best description. top 10 pain i've ever had in my life, probably top 3 (the only two things that could beat this are when i was hit by a car and when i was burned by a barbecue. but even those were a gradual increase in pain over a few days, and not the instantaneous horror that this was).
i still had no idea what had happened, but assumed that something was still lodged in my nose causing irritation. i was still operating on the salt sludge theory, and that i now critically needed to flush out my nose. so, taking a deep breath, i decided i'd try the neti-pot again. no microwave this time, no salt packet, just straight water.
thank god that this time i glanced at the bottle as i was picking it up and saw that i'd grabbed a jug of vinegar. now it all made sense. i quickly put that bottle back and grabbed the distilled water which was slightly farther over on the shelf, and have flushed my nose out 3x since then to slight benefit. but i'm not seeing blood when i blow my nose any more! so, progress.
the pain has gradually subsided over the last 5 hours, and my eye isn't bright red any more. the headache is still a dull throb, and i've taken a ton of advil. i took a hot bath to get some steam up my nose, which helped a little temporarily. and i'm more congested than ever.
i would not recommend using vinegar in a neti pot. | tifu by destroying my sinuses. this literally just happened. i’m a moron.
i haven’t slept all night because i have a bad cold, nor have i really slept well all week, so i’m fucking exhausted. taking flonase every couple hours helps with the congestion, so when i realized enough time had passed for another dose, i rolled over and went to put some flonase in my nose. the tube is a different size and shape than the tube of alcohol-based testosterone gel i also keep on my bedside, but somehow in my sleepy haze, i picked up the wrong one, uncapped it, and squirted a large chunk of cold, burning goo into my right nostril. the t gel itself is always cold and slimy, and it’s gritty because the testosterone molecules are large and clump together. the alcohol from the t gel (which helps it evaporate quickly on your skin) feels like acid on my already irritated sinuses. it basically feels like somebody waterboarded me with cold napalm and then set it on fire.
the gel is also way thicker than the flonase spritz and is stuck in my nose, and because i’m so congested, i can’t even fully get it back out. nothing is moving. i can’t decide whether it’s worse or better that all of this is affecting only one side of my face. now i’m just lying in bed hating myself. | a little background, i have an almost chronic nose blockage, i'm talking absolutely no air going in or out of my nose, and it usually happens at night when i try to sleep. i usually take some otrivin nasal spray to help with it, or else i wake up every 5 minutes gasping for air.
now yesterday, i had a blocked nose again. i reached for my spray bottle and found it empty. i blew my nose, took a hot shower and tried to go to sleep, but not being able to breath put a huge hamper on my rest. i was too lazy to go get another bottle from the pharmacy, so i read a bit online and found that salty water can help with the congestion.
now the recipe that most people use called for 250ml of water and 1/2 a teaspoon of salt. i used a small bottle of about 40ml and mixed in 3 tablespoons of salt.
i shook it up and poured a huge amount straight into my sinuses.
immediately i felt an extremely painful burning sensation in my nose, throat and sinuses, before i started rolling on the floor, shouting, with so much tears, blood, snot and spit coming out of my eyes, nose, mouth and even my fucking ears. my face fucking exploded.
now my mother comes in at this time and sees me screaming in pain with bloodshot eyes and explosive nasal discharge and started freaking out, thinking i had some kind of disease or something, and i had to convince her for 20 minutes to not take me to the hospital while i was rolling around in excruciating pain. | eng_Latn | 23,182 |
