Running water through the sinus cavities. Navage both pushes and pulls it through, the squeeze bottle pushes it through, and the neti pot uses gravity. I would think you've already tried the most uncomfortable version. I saw the videos on it last night. One practiced user, who made it seem trivially easy to use, and two others who were silly enough to film their first use - who both ended up with water ask over the place, choking and sputtering, and with tears in their eyes. So there is obviously a learning curve.

Hashimotos thyroid? I got all three of the hereditary illnesses in my family the year I turned 60, including this cute little autoimmune critter. (It's the most common reason for needing thyroid replacement meds.

Good luck!

Ohio. Hmm . . . do you think reopening was a bit rushed? [View all] Ms. Toad Jun 2020 OP

Just a bit. LisaL Jun 2020 #1

None of those places are open here in NY (except outdoor seating at some restaurants) Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #2

You can require masks and make exceptions for children with autism, or whoever gets a doctor's note. LisaL Jun 2020 #6

Correct. That's why I phrased it the way I did. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #8

I agree, the exception for one child does not constitute a mandate. Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #10

People with autism grow up - and some are not diagnosed until late in life. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #16

Good grief! I really don't understand these mask rebels. Do they really believe they're immune?? Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #9

I don't understand them either. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #11

You're very right, wearing shirts and shoes doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #15

I try to avoid saying that mask wearing is a political issue - it isn't. It's a public health issue Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #17

I sure agree, it's hardly political and has been said many times, it isn't political anywhere else Rhiannon12866 Jun 2020 #20

DeWine was actually good (much to my surprise) Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #4

Like I said before, bottom line is, he is still a Republican. LisaL Jun 2020 #7

I was SHOCKED by his proactive response early... Buckeye_Democrat Jun 2020 #30

Maybe just a tad bit. A smidge, LuckyCharms Jun 2020 #12

Yeah. Waiting another day or two would have been great. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #13

If I were king... LuckyCharms Jun 2020 #14

I missed that. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #19
