LONG Term Snorting Binge, Nose Concern!

[ThatOneDude!]

Hey, im just curious about how long term snorting of meth will cause damage to the nose, like wholes through the membrane, and loss of smell.

Is there any way to detect early warning signs, or to know that I should stop snorting before killing off my ability to smell. or how exactly does that work? or is it just at one point in time, after that line, it just burns differently or feels weird, something happens maybe, then all of a sudden no smells since?

Also, how can you tell if you have developed wholes in the nasal membrane and what kinda damage is done once stuff can now go thru the wholes when you snort the next time?

So far one side doesnt really burn anymore, and i get the bloody mucus a lot. i know i need to just stop! but honestly, besides IV, snorting hits me the hardest and lasts the longest. most say its smoking, over eating or snorting, but smoking doesnt get me so high. i dont want to waste it, im sure i can just stop as well. but looking back all the way to February, ive been binging almost every day, up until now!

Side Note: I do use nasal spray afterwords to help absorption and clean the nose, been thinking about just dissolving a bunch into a bottle!

It would be awesome if anyone has any tips to prevent any form of damage while using? I've heard taking ibuprofen helps reduce the brain damage some how? Also that Magnesium helps with maintaining tolerance levels, and reduces jaw clenching/grinding. I would never grind my teeth but would always end up not realizing i had been biting down the whole time, for hours on end, to be left with extremely soar jaw!

I have a scar in my nose from long term cocaine abuse. It started off as a horrid burning each time I did it up that side. Then I started bleeding out that nostril heavily. It first was a sore that scabbed over, came off and grew scar tissue. It doesn't hurt anymore because I stopped doing coke. I started smoking rocks and well, that is how I stopped the sore from getting worse. I don't know how to prevent damage other than to stop doing it. Meth is a nasty drug bro as I am sure you know.

If you can put whatever you are snorting into liquid and create a mist out of it that will be much easier on your nose then a solid powder. You definitely want to prevent the damage from occurring or at the very least minimize its impact on you and thats at least a great start.
