Trauma and Saline Nasal Experiences
I’ve been dealing with somatic issues connected to trauma, and I’ve come to understand how strongly trauma can embed itself in the body. Some of mine seems to sit in my sinuses, which have stayed chronically dry and swollen. I recently started using saline nasal sprays, and they help enough that I try to use them regularly. The difficulty is that when the saline passes through to the other sinus, it triggers the trauma stored there. It has led to emotional outbursts, heightened sensitivity, and painful, exhausting crying spells. I used it again this evening, and the saline passed through both times, which keeps my sinuses from drying out but also causes emotional upheaval and extreme distress. I’m hoping nothing bad develops, though I’m a little worried it could. It isn’t cause for alarm right now, but I’m watching it closely. I’d like to know if anyone else has experienced anything similar.
