I finally used the neti pot.
It was on Saturday night, and although I wasn't having much sinus problems (surprise) I decided to give it a shot, aaaand....it was...weird.
The whole motivation to buy the neti pot was inspired by my mom (not smash, as a couple of you guys thought...I don't even know her blog) after complaining to her ever couple of weeks about sinus problems for the last several months. The idea of it was weird to me, but I decided to give it a try anyway.
So about the experience...
It was kinda uncomfortable, and the salt water kept wanting to go down my throat. yuck, I hate that feeling. I guess that I have some practicing to do. I can't really say "It was AMAZING!" yet, because like I mentioned my sinuses were not that bad in the first place.
A few more dates with Neti, then I'll know if it's meant to be for us to be close friends.

you crack me up. i haven't had a problem with the water trying to go down my throat. are you sure you're breathing right? i just keep my mouth open and breathe - i don't swallow my spit or anything. sometimes that means i drool into the sink. :) i'm just afraid if i swallow it might mess things up.
also, i forgot to mix the salt in mine last night. fresh water hurts a lot.
That's so funny! Eric and I have a neti pot too and I refuse to do it unless I'm really stuffed up. It makes me feel like I'm drowning but Eric loves it.
I love the Neti Pot! I remember the first time I used it, I was really scared I eventually had to push Travis out of the bathroom and do it by myself. I now love it... it does take some getting use to. I use it as my party trick now. HA!
