WARNING: Extreme booger pictures ahead. Not Safe For Lunch.

I warned you. Don't click the link, seriously.

I have had a request to share some of the snotties that came out of my nose after I began treatment for my Wegener's, so here we go.

Really, these are gross. Don't click the link.

Wegener's boogers - Imgur

Why did you go click that? I told you.

Coins and drivers license provided for scale, these suckers were huge, and felt soooooooooo good coming out.

For about the first two weeks after my treatment began, I was getting these huge necrotic monsters coming out after a sinus rinse.

Since then the discharges have returned to "normal" non blood streaked, moist mucus.


If anyone else has some great booger pics to share, please do! I would love to see them.

Let's try and keep them hidden behind links though, so nobody gets surprises.

Those are good pics. Now I just have to find mine and link them somehow without posting the pics directly. Any advice on how to do that Andy?

Just go to imgur: the simple image sharer and create an album. It is free, and you do not have to create an account to post anything there, so you can keep nice and anonymous. They give you a link to delete the pictures if you don't have an account, so should you need to, you can.

I just realized I already have an album of 3 pics of some snotty nose chunks on here.

Here is the link.......

They are not very big compared to some I have had in the past or even some I have had later. But will give you an idea of what comes out each day.

They remind me of the boogers I used to get just after diagnosis. Huge things!!! It's hard to fathom how they can come out of just a small nostril lol

Did they feel as good coming out as they did for me? I can't even begin to explain the relief I felt when one of those bastards freed themselves from my hear.

sorry for my poor english can anyone translate "booger" ? I didn't find it anywhere...
Anne, it is not as awefull as you might think. I just saw it. I am OK.
in fact, it is intersting to compare.
mine were less bloody and more colorful....
"bloody" thing, this WG....
btw- at the beginning, and when my dx was not "closed", I wanted to show some to my doc but he refused....

Without getting in to a mine's bigger than yours boast, I can explain why (at least mine) were so much larger (especially longer) than my nostril.
For those who have had these beast boogers, think where did you get the relief from apart from the nose?
In my case the relief mostly came from just under my right eye. The reason being my super length boogers traveled into my sinus cavity. They were so uncomfortable. I used to be almost in tears if the booger broke as I was dragging it out as I would have to wait until enough nostril booger built so that it would reconnect with the sinus booger!

Thank you spaceflightaddict for bringing this subject up. At least I know I'm not a freak now!

My relief was defiantly behind the eyes. After a few of those monsters loosened up and came out, the constant burning searing stabbing pain behind my eyes went down a whole lot. I am still getting decent pain behind my left eye, but nothing like before.
