I don't know what my nose is doing, but I haven't ever gone a day without blockage in at least one nostral, with overflow threatening another.

But sometimes... Sometimes I can breathe. And it's like I smell ALL the fuckin smells. Do you ever get that? It lasts just a moment usually for me... A half a no minute at most. It's amazing.

Oh absolutely. It's crazy, right?

A friend of mine has a similar breathing problem, and it was regular occurrence to mention when either one of us "snotted" lol. We both knew that that was literally the best relieving feeling we experienced.

Do yourself a favor and get into an ENT to find out if something is fixable with medicine or if it'll require surgery. I researched best ENTs specifically looking for those who were the best rated for surgery in my area. Happily went out of my way to find one, completely expecting to need surgery. I could tell he was not wanting to break the news I could only fix it with surgery but I immediately wanted to schedule it and he was a bit taken aback lol.
