       My Self-NCR Diary

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Hi, I'll start recording my NCR experiences in this thread. Hope
       it'll be helpful to some people.
       Equipment I use:
       - Sphygmomanometer (only the bulb)
       - Latex gloves (for now I settled for standard lab gloves,
       cutting the fingers off them. Might shop online for finger cots
       later.)
       - Q-tip (For pushing the balloon inside the nose.)
       - Olive oil (For lubrication. First thing I could think of...
       also it smells good.)
       - Dental floss (For tying the balloon to the bulb.)
       I've gathered the impressions of my first 12 tries in a PDF
       format, if someone's interested:
  HTML http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=21235388379282587443
       Now it's no longer necessary to record every single session,
       since I've gotten comfortable with the procedure.
       Here are the main points I think are important to self-treat
       successfully:
       1. For getting the balloon in place: it's very helpful, while
       inflating gently, to both pinch the nostril and,
       as Progress suggested, use the back of you tongue to press
       against the palate.
       Pushing with the back part of the tongue hits the soft
       palate, so it really makes it easier for the balloon to go up.
       2. (Allnicc12 pointed that out) When the balloon is almost
       there, that's the time to increase the pressure,
       so that the balloon will have to escape the turbinate and
       expand rapidly in the upper throat (Nasopharynx)
       and hit the sphenoid with as much force as possible.
       After that plateau, the balloon will go down and give a
       choking feeling (at least it does for me) until you deflate
       (that is, immediately ;)).
       Just not too much force...there's the risk of the balloon
       detaching from the bulb and getting stuck in the nose...
       It happened to me only once, and since it was still in the
       turbinate I blew it off, but things could get more serious. The
       tying part is really important!
       3. I'm personally still using snipped fingers from latex gloves
       instead of finger cots, but I think I'll soon get those and try
       them...
       It's been suggested that the cots are slightly thicker than
       the latex gloves. That might probably help provide more pushing
       force.
       4. Be really mindful of your oral posture! It is of the essence.
       I don't personally think facepulling is required. Proper oral
       AND head posture should be enough, given that NCR already makes
       it easier.
       Also, I think of it like calisthenics vs using heavy
       weights...
       You can't hurt yourself with bodyweight exercises, but if
       you're not careful you can with heavy lifting (that might yield
       quicker results).
       And a tongue is much weaker than two hands :)

       Hi, what youve done is pretty much accurate because ur ears
       popped, people get put off by this because generally the cot
       isnt pushed far back enough through the turbinate and then
       inflate it in the turbinate which feels like its goin to burst
       in the turbinate, best way is to push the cot as far back as u
       can til you reach empty space and then try an push the cot with
       the q tip slightly dwn into the top throat, once u get the feel
       of where the top part of the throat is you cant go wrong getting
       the cot there, ive even just stuck the q tip in my turbinate few
       times jus to get a feel of where the top part of the throat is,
       once youve mastered that its a simple case of quickly inflating
       few times with bulb and the cot has no problem ever reaching the
       spheniod, its jus practice.

       Cool, I started self treatment today too. Couldn't really reach
       the open space, but inflating deep inside the turbines did
       result in a few audible cracks nevertheless.

       Added day 2.
       Also, how do I do spoilers here, if possible? The first post
       will probably get long..
       Anyway, I guess the first times it's common not to be sure if
       I'm doing it properly :)

       Once your in the turbinate or nostril keep pushing through til u
       reach the end and then aim slightly down youll then be in the
       top part of the throat, once youve mastered that youll do it all
       the time and position the cot perfectly everytime, once youve
       done that quickly press the bulb bout 3/4 times or til both ears
       pop and then release it, youll hit the sphenoid everytime, again
       practice putting the q tip in ur nostril on its own to find/feel
       where the top part of your throat is, youll know when your
       there, once mastered that do it with the cot etc

       In the guide it says to actually inflate in the turbinate area /
       nasal cavity and not in the back? It seems to make sense to
       inflate further back though ???

       I think a gentle inflation in the turbinate helps keeping the
       balloon straight, to prevent folding or similar events.

       Added day 3.
       Today the experience was not pleasant, so I'll stop until I feel
       ready again. Hope it's just a few days.
       I've been as detailed as I could with describing what I did, so
       I hope someone more experienced can give me some pointers :)
       If you're new to this, I advice you to watch this video, as it
       illustrates very well the anatomy of the nose:
  HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJEenATGwg8
       Also, you could look for videos of nasal probes to get a better
       idea.
       I have something that bothers me though: as I wrote in the main
       post, I do feel an "expansion" but only on the right. I don't
       feel like doing it in the left nostril again, but could it be
       detrimental to stop now?
       Or should I try to balance the sensation? Mind that I'm having a
       more difficult time reaching the sphenoid from my right side.

       If it feels like the balloon is going too deep into the throat,
       you can deflate a bit, pull back a few millimeters and then
       inflate again. Breaks are fine, they shouldn't be detrimental.
       The writer of the self treatment guide often had 1-2 week breaks
       if things got too sore. No one even recommends daily sessions in
       the first place.
