       I remember the author advocating clusters of 4 days in a row
       followed by breaks. That was my plan in the first place, but I'm
       just concerned about the possibile effects of treating one side
       more than the other..
       About pulling the balloon back, that's probably what I should
       have done but in the moment I guess I was too eager :)

       Betterbytheday, you do inflate in the turbinate but u insert the
       cot as far back as u can first so u reach near enough the top
       part of the throat, once your there and u know u are you then
       inflate 3/4 times and the cot will first expand in the turbinate
       n then pop out into the upper throat/sphenoid area, if the cot
       is near the top throat first then wen u inflate its gauranteed
       to pop out in the sphenoid area, this is why u need to feel n
       know where ur top throat is by practicing first, i do this by
       putting a q tip by itself up the turbinate a few times to know
       where my upper throat is n ull knw its ur upper throat wen u
       reach it, that way ull always know ur in the right position with
       the cot before inflating it

       OK so Ive given it my first try!. I managed to hit the lower and
       upper turbinates on both sides (took about 6 tries each) I cant
       get too deep though and I think the finger cot is just not long
       enough to reach the back so I only inflated in the front and mid
       section which is obviously not ideal but atleast I know what it
       feels like. I had no cracks/ popping etc. maybe cause I was
       resistant and a bit weary to inflate to heavy. I might do what
       angelo did and get some latex rubber gloves and snip the fingers
       off. the cot really irritated my sinuses and turbinates which
       are very sensitive so I might need some more water or some lube.
       Overall not a bad experience :)

       Betterbyday: so you just used just water instead of a proper
       lube? I know it's mentioned as an option in the guide, but since
       we're both beginners the cots will touch our turbinats  alot
       more than they would in an expert... I strongly suggest you get
       a proper lube. Anything oily / fatty should be okay, even butter
       :)
       As for the cots being too short... Might be, but it might also
       be that you haven't reached the sweet spot yet! As you can read
       in my day 3, with too much pushing the fingers have even been
       too long.

       Inflating heavy definitely feels quite scary at first. I
       switched to latex glove middle fingers after the first session
       as I felt like the medium sized finger cots were too short.
       Turns out I just wasn't inflating enough. The cots stretch quite
       a lot lengthwise when you pump enough air into them inside the
       nose. I don't think bone fractures are a real concern when using
       only one cot. The cot will either explode or push into your
       throat before any bone gives up.
       The sinuses seem to get less sensitive as you build "tolerance"
       to having stuff deep inside them. My nose was clogged for whole
       night after the first treatment, whereas third treatment didn't
       result in much excess mucus or sinus sensitivity.
       Has anyone been having aches after doing NCR? For the last
       couple of nights I've been waking up to very achy
       maxilla/sphenoid area. I sleep on my side with half of my face
       towards the pillow, so perhaps that has something to do with it.
       Turning to other side makes the pain subside in a couple of
       minutes and then it doesn't return for the rest of the night.
       After treating for three days in a row I think I'm going to take
       a break for the rest of the week. Or at least until the aches go
       away.

       Yeah I just used water ;D I will invest in some lube. And I
       think I maybe tying the balloon too far back on the sphygo bulb
       made it alot shorter. Ill see how next time goes

       Progress:
       I haven't experienced such strong sensations yet... I should try
       using some more pressure on the sphenoid next time.
       Also, do you feel some difference when using a latex glove vs a
       finger cot?

       Started the same day as you. I spent two first sessions
       inflating in two turbinates on both sides and getting familiar
       with the process, and third session treating all three
       turbinates on the left side, like the alternating method
       described in the guide.
       It's difficult to say anything about differences because my
       technique is still so inconsistent. For sake of speculation, my
       latex gloves seem to be a bit thinner than the cots, which
       should mean that the cots can withstand more pressure inside the
       turbines / against the sphenoid before expanding into the
       throat. The thinner the material, the less pressure is needed to
       make it stretch lengthwise instead of providing three
       dimensional pressure against the facial bones.

       So maybe I should actually get some finger cots instead of
       settling with latex gloves, since those could provide a stronger
       push to the target..
       Also, I just realized that since I had a quite clogged nose some
       weeks ago due to the cold and it's still not completely gone, my
       turbinates are probably still a little swollen.... I may try a
       vasoconstrictor such as Naphazoline and see if it gets easier,
       although it would not be a long term option.

       Tried again today with another finger cot, pushed as far back as
       I could.
       Inflated couple of times each side of the nose and pretty sure
       Ive hit the sphenoid. When inflating it feels very uncomfortable
       (like someone is pouring a fizzy drink down my nose) Didn't feel
       anything besides some minor pain and discomfort. When inflating,
       the cot always inflates at the front rather than the back so
       when in the nose theres always more expansion in the turbinate
       area rather than the back / top of throat.
       Also Is there a rythm to follow?, Do I inflate then deflate
       several times or Do I just carry on till its unbearable and im
       almost chocking then stop and deflate? I feel like I want to
       inflate more but I'm scared to do so.
