Thanks for the suggestion. I've stayed away from it for that reason. My problem's not really congestion, but a slow, steady leakage of what seems to be acid from my sinuses It's clear, it's salty, and it corrodes the skin under my nostrils. The past week it's helped that I've used only tissues with lotion to wipe. Anything else is too rough. During the marathon, I used a coolmax wristband, and, smooth as that is, my noseskin was bloody by the end. I'll try the Afrin for a couple of days--heck, it's cheap, and if I use it occasionally, I should be able to avoid the rebound congestion. L.
