    Exclamation where does it come from? <gross!!!

    I'm sick, and I cannot seem to stop blowing my nose... I'm taking remedies, so that's no worry, but I'm just trying to get rid of all the yuckies, so I'm blowing like NONSTOP!!!! I went through over 250 tissues, and they were all very full. Where does all this yuckie nose goop come from? I seriously feel like I've lost a pound blowing my nosie.... It hurts!


    anyways.... so... the bold is my question. Sorry this is so yuckie

    Awww, Lola-I completely understand! I was sick exactly like that over Christmas, and boy, was I miserable. I went through so many tissues and even had to carry a small plastic bag around with me to put them all in! I literally could not go more than a minute a two without blowing my nose. Try taking Benadryl and Mucinex, and hell, maybe even Sudafed too-that's what I had to do. Even with all of that, I was STILL blowing my nose but it cut it down significantly. I hope you feel better!

    Awww, thanks! You too!

    I'm just confused over how you can Blow and Blow and Blow and Blow, and keep going! Where does it all fit? I guess no one else knows.... it's a mystery

    Its your bodies way of clearing out the toxins - or one of the ways. Better out than in (-:

    I wish I knew! When my cold was at its worst, I finally just had to try and stop blowing it because I realized that it was absolutely futile and could not possibly get all of the gunk out of my head! It was the absolute worst cold I've ever had (well, that part of it, anyways!) and it took me a good two weeks to finally get over it. I know exactly how you're feeling, and I tell ya that Mucinex works wonders. Benadryl is good to for drying you up too, the only downside is that it makes you sleepy-so I'd take Sudafed and Mucinex w/Benadryl at night. Boo to colds!

    You have quite a bit of good sized sinuses in your face

    ehhh. I don't do pharmasuticals unless I really have to. It's a total last resort for me. I mostly just tough it out....

    CF... hmmmm. ok that makes sense. But what's in the sinuses when you're healthy?

    Nothing- ideally they should be clear.

    My nose is acting like a faucett

    I feel your pain. 300 of the super soft tissues still creates some chaff (sp).....

    Vicks makes a nasal spray that fixes the leaks in the plumbing. It's like snorting a can of Altiods, but it works wonders.

    Haha.

    The brain (maybe the pituitary gland?) gives orders for mucous production so that your nose can clear all the bad stuff out; the actual snot is produced in glands right in the nose.


    In the 'olden days', doctors thought that the brain actually produced the mucous, and had no other function!

    Yeah, you have mucus membranes that are there just to produce mucus. So you blow it out, they make more. I'm suffering too; my allergies have been driving me crazy all week and I've had this awful constant faucet-drip from my nose and it's disgusting. I'm so sick of it.

    Oh man, it must be everywhere! I have it too! And I asked the same question, where the hell is it all coming from!

    Miserable.

    It is helping me to quit smoking though....I haven't wanted to be near smoke for the last four days!

    aww, thanks. Ya, I was going to visit friends in orlando this weekend, and my stupid cold is kicking my ass so bad! I had to back out I'm just hoping the worst it over. I didn't have a fever at all today (I did on and off for the past three), so I think the worst is over.

    Keep hydrated, so your mucus runs clear. If you get dehydrated, mucus thickens, and nasty microbes can start growing in it--leading to a nasty sinus infection. Drink lots of tea, water, and juice.

    You clearly have a gateway to an alternate snot-filled dimension in your nose. TOTAL bummer. Maybe exorcism of the nose would fix it?
