doing lines...a specialist gave me some
nasal spray to put on there when its

I personally have never heard of the
transfer of menbranes from one part of the
body to another. That is not saying it
can't be done. Especially mucus membrane.
You might want to check with you
specialist and find out what options you
might have open for you.
Hope you get some answers. And wonderful
that you are clean now. Keep it up.

I went through a very rough spell and used
cocaine daily for over a year (quite a few
years ago). Needless to say I have NO
septum to speak of, meaning i could put my
whole finger through if i wanted. I went
to see a specialist and they pretty much
informed me that there isn't much they can
do short of attempting to create a new
septum with a plug (but no guarantees it
would work). Now years later I still get
sinus headaches, pain in my nose etc.
There probably isn't anything they can do.
Let it be a painful reminder to stay the
hell away from it
