Yeah, that's what I am dealing with. Drips of blood occasions coming out.

Did you pack you? and if so when did they remove the nose packing?

For anyone that has a deviated septum or nasal polyps and you were thinking about surgery, I just wanted to give some food for thought.

A lot of people do pretty well with little issue. I was the opposite. After they do the surgery on the nose they pack it tight with gauze and now your nose is gone. Everytime you swallow the back pressure pushes on you ears and pops them a little.

 Its very awkward and uncomfortable and its very hard to swallow, especially liquids. I have only been able to have half a cup of water in the past 24 hours and am very thirsty. The regular bleeding from my nose would not stop and got down my throat to the point where I had to throw it up and ended up going to ED last night.

LUCKILY, I can get the gauze removed today, but my friend who had a deviated septum had to have them in for 3 days. I absolutely couldn't have handled that.

Hey I'm sorry I missed this. No they didn't pack me but my buddy who just got the surgery did, he complained about the ear popping too.

Honestly I think the reason I fared well was because the migraines I had before the surgery were so bad and so crippling that any pain or discomfort I felt afterwords was a joke in comparison.

One side effect I did have is now when I sleep with my mouth open at night (lolz mouthbreather) my through is incredibly dry, I don't know how the surgery would effect that but since having it I've had to change how I sleep.

A little off topic and I guess I can put this in the diseased thread but I got my bill for my dental implants I'm going to do, roughly 20k :(

Holy SHIT!  Any insurance that will cover some/most of that?

I have the best dental insurance provided by my work, so yea of course, they are going to cover all of 2k, that's if I split it up over two years so I can max out benefits :lol. Dental insurance is a joke in the states.

Some back story, in my late twenties I started noticing that teeth are starting to come up and I'm getting cavities in my molars. Turns out I not only have my wisdom teeth but an additional 3 teeth on top of that. All these teeth are starting to shift my molars forward and weakening them. To date I've had 6 molars removed, 4 wisdom teeth removed and another 3 to be removed. My implant surgery is to replace the molars taken out.

I blame all of this on Chernobyl. I was in the womb when that happened and I was only 500km away.

Back when I started noticing an issue I went to the dentist and he kept looking in my mouth with this perplexed look on his face, he called for his other dental partner to come take look. The other guys was like "are you from eastern europe" I said yes, and he was like oh we see this issue from time to time. It's a genetic trait of eastern Europeans.

I remember one time I needed two root canals and crowns and it would cost around £1,000. I was on welfare at the time so i had no idea how I was going to save up for it...

...Luckily my friend who ran a rehearsal studio / jam room let me work A LOT of shifts - and I was getting around £300 a week on top of my welfare

( which is not strictly speaking legal but meh - desperate times etc - I was getting cash in hand and we both agreed that if anyone were to ask - I was a volunteer and no money was involved...).

And I ended up with £1,000 in notes laid out on my bed just looking at it hehe.

Since it looks like Eddie Van Halen died from cancer related to HPV and bruce Dickinson and Michael Douglas also had HPV related issues, I decided to get the HPV vaccine.

Up until recently, it was only given to girls and women, so it was a huge pain in the ass trying to get it. But I brought all the updated paperwork and was able to get it.
