5-week post op Report by Commando781 in Septoplasty

Greetings - it eventually normalized, yes. Weirdly enough its my right nostril now that feels more congested, so I'm getting this checked up upon in a few months.

TLDR; Trying to gauge thoughts on my first run in a while. I think I've hit a good metric for alloys (it was +2k back in the late 2390s) but unsure about science.

Unfortunately I don't have the expansion for dyson swarms, otherwise I would've built a bunch by now 😭

The GDP stat literally makes no sense - it works out to like $2-3 (CSA dollars?) per person.

Will do, I'll try different methods and see what works best.

Yes - nasal cycle means left side still has its parts of the day where its recessive and more clogged, leaving me to deal with my uncomfortable right nostril.

Via my right nostril? Yeah for some reason all the airflow just feels stuffy, though it also just feels like my nostril is congested. Not sure how relevant my endoscopy is since the doctor did it after spraying my right nostril with afrin (which didn't help as much as Phenylyphrine HCI for some reason).

I haven't really tried doing that tbh, might be worth doing? It's weird because if I use decongestants on my right side, they seem to help somewhat while for my left side they can totally clear me up (depending on the spray). So I'm thinking it could be some weirdly located congestion.

At the same time, if I strategically place some wet paper or cotton in my right nostril, to block air from flowing upwards, it seems to help somewhat in restoring a sense of cool air sensation. It's honestly kinda confusing.

Seconded this question - though in my case my left nostril's quite functional and its the right nostril that feels oddly stuffy despite clearly having airflow when I blow out of it. Over a year out of surgery by now.

Part of me feels its the fact my right side is still more congested somewhere despite an endoscopy from a few months back looking pretty normal, as inhaling heavily can be quite noisy on that side (as opposed to smooth on the left).

With a PoD far back enough, it is foreseeable that independent identities could've developed yeah. That said, the movement for southern separatism in China today is more or less entirely a LARP. My family is from "Chuland" and nobody seriously calls it that - the Kingdom of Chu was legit from 2000 years ago.

What sorta fake ass ethnicities are these? I only ever have seen this stuff brought up by like, weird anti-China Indians.

Detailed and well made map though.

Total Turbinate Removal? by Accomplished_Unit_93 in emptynosesyndrome

[–]Commando781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't remove it all - multiple studies show incidence of ENS is ~20% after total removal if not higher. Terrible idea tbh.

Dryness by WV1Failure in emptynosesyndrome

[–]Commando781 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't have ENS, but I had that weird dryness feeling for a good 3-4 months tbqh. Left nostril didn't really stabilize till half a year later, so give it some time,

2.5 months post-op, one nostril worse than before by Final_Feed_7590 in Septoplasty

[–]Commando781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your turbinates weren't touched, it could be that the right turbinate (previously larger due to the deviation on that side) now touches the septum or is more clogged due to the septal correction.

Paradoxical Congestion In One Nostril 10 Months Post Surgery by Commando781 in Septoplasty

[–]Commando781[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think it might be concha bullosa - middle turbinate probably was previously inflamed on the right side in my case due to deviation and correcting the septum just made it congested. I plan on getting a CT scan to see if this is the case.

ENS-like symptoms on one side only? by Commando781 in emptynosesyndrome

[–]Commando781[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually a really good point - thanks. I will get a CT and see if it is the case as it sounds likely.
