I think I lost about 30% of my ITs (the front third) and about 50% of my MTs. I also think its important to realize that cutting the heads off the ITs is crucially bad as it is the heads that are your immediate and primary defense to the raw outside air.

I feel crap, my nasal passages always hurt, the mucosa is always inflamed and the air burns. Often I get a hollow lack of resistance, other times a nasty swelling of all the inflamed mucosa and the remaining turbinate stubs. My septum is in bad shape.

What do I do? not much as not much seems to help. I try siccalix occasionally as it seems to coat and protect, I avoid cold dry climates (eg snow, ice areas) and I use a humidifer. Avoiding meds is essential - the same system that got you these surgeries also wants you on meds. I avoid saline sprays at it has a drying affect and avoid afrin / oxymetazoline hydrochloride atr all costs.
