Re: Runny nose question

[Guest guest]

I too had this, but it was around weeks3-6 or 7...just dripped

whenever...very gross for working and talking with anyone...I thought

of my Nana who used to carry a smushed tissue in her sleeve

always...I at one point at work had done just that! Silly but true.

It stopped about9 weeks...yeah I don't remember it much at that

point. As far as I know if it's just clear and runny it's ok, just

annoying. (when I had my uppper/genio, they found a lot of large

polyups in my sinuses and a deviated septum...they fixed that

while " they were in there " and while it made my initial healing

tough...I coughed so hard from the -pardon-but the post nasal drip,

considering I was under strict orders NOT to blow my nose for 4

wks!!! well that forth night post-op, I woke up to choking and when I

stopped, I had busted out of several of my impossible to move bands!

went right to the OS all was ok, but that added to the tricky healing

time.

Hang in there, I am sure the cold fuels the running...ut tell your OS

to be safe...never know!
