    My septum is very much deviated. I thought it’s normal that I can’t breathe half of the time. Turns out it’s not normal and can be treated

      Imo it’s probably one of the best things I’ve ever done for my body that wasn’t diet/exercise related. It was annoying and uncomfortable and being on downers always makes me a wreck, but once that fog cleared and my stents came out, I slept infinitely better, the orbital bones below my eye sockets aren’t constantly sore, I don’t take a constant stream of OTC allergy/sinus meds, and now, when I do take meds (very seldom - I think there were two days in the last year and a half that my post nasal drip needed help) they actually work.

      I also had the procedure where they burn away a bit of the insides of your sinuses if they’re too swollen. I don’t remember what it’s called anymore.
