Apparently, 34 years of breathing has left me with an impenetrable mass in my sinuses that renders my neti pot only partially usable. Bummer. I tried the neti pot for the first time last night, expecting to swallow a lot of water, have water float into my brain or out my eyes...pretty much anything except that the water would do what it's supposed to do: flow from the opposite nostril.
I'm so glad I live alone sometimes. There are people who record their neti pot experiences and post them on youtube. Me? I don't even let the dog watch. I'm surprised I'm even telling you fine folk.
Tonight I tried again--same results. Hopefully I'm chipping away at the monstrosity in my nasal cavity. I just hope that when I eventually dislodge it and can breathe truly freely that I don't actually sound like Fran Drescher...

I'm a neti-pot lover. I do it enough where it's pretty rare it (the snot) every gets a chance to block my nose that much.
This time of year I do it in the morning and usually the evening too. If I didn't something different (cleaning in a dusty area or out in the cold weather for a while) I'll to it as soon as I get in.
This post is a little old now, have you been trying it since...?

I've had success :) Finally!!! I think the neti pot and I just needed to acquaint ourselves, lol.
