which is worse which would you rather have

Stuff her good.

Rather have runny nose. Can usually still breathe through my nose when it is runny, just need lots of tissues. I hate breathing through my mouth.

I rarely get a runner. I'm a stuffed boy most of the time, I just medicate it away...

Runny. Stuffed can be hell.

Rather be stuffy. I hate having to tend to a runner.

Runny nose is worse than a stuffy nose, constantly blowing your nose compared to just breathing out of your mouth. Getting dry? Drink water.

I'd rather be stuffy. A constantly runny nose is just awful.

Runny is worse. Stuffy is only really bad for sleeping, but I found a nasal spray that completely clears it out for a few hours.

runny nose is annoying, stuffed nose is much worse. i spent most of my childhood with sleep issues because i had consistant blocked nose issues and it would keep me up at night, and all my doctor would suggest is using saline nasal sprays...

hate stuffy nose so runny all the way.

the only bad part about runny nose is dry skin and irritation.

Saline doesn't work for me. The one I have that works really well says Phenylephrine HCl 1.0%. I think you're not supposed to use it all the time though.

i spent years taking decongestants, pseudoephedrine in claritin D, but eventually i found that ocasional use of a steroidal nose spray, fluticasone propionate the stuff that smells like flowers, worked well.

When my nose runs, it runs like a mountain stream during spring thaw. So, stuffed

I believe you are not supposed to use saline sprays too much either. My nose gets stuffed all the time and it is so hard to sleep at night and I try not to use saline sprays unless I really need to. Though thinking of getting an bedwedge pillow or whatever those slant pillows are. Then if it works well thinking of getting an incline bed.

Is your runny accompanied by very high allergies/rashness/redness and a nose that's constantly prone to sneezing?

One more thing, the way your nose gets chafed after blowing it all day. Fucking sucks.

Medicine can deal with both pretty easily.

But if I can't just fix the problem, runny is worse. I usually stick a kleenex in my nose so I don't have to constantly blow. Stuffy is easy enough to deal with.

This is why I prefer it stuffed rather than have it runny, red and raw from all the chafing. Stuffed you can deal with, runny is the worst.

I'm a nose breather. I hate having a stuffed up nose. I'd prefer runny. I can still breathe through it that way.
