Am I the only person who can't bring myself to use a neti pot? Both the urgent care and telehealth docs advised me to use one as if it was no big deal, but the idea of pouring water into a breathing passage ( which is already in burning pain) just hits with the same kind of visceral fear as trying to put my hand in a fire---I can't believe it wouldn't cause terrible pain and gagging and I don't know how to force myself to do it. #sinusitis #homeremedies #help

@Ashmire@pagan.plus you are not the only one! I cannot bring myself to try. Nearest I get is a saline nasal spray.
