mattarios2 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So lately, past couple weeks, I have been waking up with a sore throat that subsides after about an hour (possibly post nasal drip while I am sleeping). But during the day I don't sneeze, no mucous, no runny nose, no coughing, no nothing. I can taste my food and drinks but I taste absolutely nothing when I smoke. Even strong flavors like mizo gum, mizo lemon, etc. I literally taste nothing. I normally (for the past 3-4 years) only get allergies in the fall around October, never anything in the summer though. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Try using a neti pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Yah I have one, It has saved me big time in the past, I just figured since I had no mucous it would do no good, but there could be some in there somewhere for sure. I'll give it a go tonight and report back. Thanks man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hope you figure out the issue soon and get back to smoking, man! I was anxious to smoke returning from my honeymoon, but I got a pretty bad cold day I got back (June 24th). It's FINALLY getting better so I think I'll be able to smoke when I get back in town from 4th of July festivities. Damn getting sick... Messes with our hobby!

mustang67n Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 How much do you smoke? If I smoke a lot, I notice my taste buds for smoke start to diminish. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] what nate said when you smoke a lot it starts to diminish atleat it happens to me. but then it makes its way back but this weekend we were all smoking and nate was like pavo got any allergy meds im like yep right on my desk lol. but i've been taking them to every couple days because its been annoying. but i find a medi pot like joytron said works good or some simple saline also, warm water with salt works well but not very much salt because it can caroad your nose and make it raw.

[/quote] Yeah, the neti pot didn't do anything for me, in the past it has when I have had horrible sinuses. But I don't really have anything that I can tell. Meh, I will try a bowl when I get back after the 4th and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 well that is a bummer ( maybe try not to smoke for a day or two and see if that brings life back to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 yeah I am going to wait till I get back from NY to smoke which will be friday. We will see. It has been on and off, some bowls I can taste a little bit but not like normal and some bowls I taste absolutely NOTHING. All of my friends are saying are you kidding? I can taste it really well. And I sadly say nooo ... as I drop my head in sadness :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
