Also no saddle nose here yet. I have basically only sinus involvement, diagnosed Oct '13 and still on Mtx and 10mg preds at the moment. Still have sinus issues like crustiness and bleeding sometimes, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed...

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with my nose and thought maybe those of you here with more nose and sinus history could help... I am having more pain in my nose and it feels very dry, not a lot of secretions or gunk coming out when I rinse. (Just some crustiness which is normal for me. No bleeding.) I've had nose troubles for many years before diagnosis and treatment, and the ENT recently said my nose was looking better. So the pain is puzzling. Labs are decent. Any insights welcome. Thanks!
a less pressing but equally intriguing question, why does autocorrect keep trying to change nose to Jose? Is Siri suggesting a name for my schnozz?

Hi Lisa, it could be because of vasculites
I was going to say "check your humidity", but then I saw that you lived in Delta, so I have no clue. As an aside.... Beautiful part of the world you live in. Vancouver is one of the nicest cities in the world. Unless the winds changed or it got real hot and dropped the humidity to less than 25% like we routinely have, then hard to say.

My ENT told me because of all the damage caused in my sinuses before diagnoses, it will never be normal again. So he reasons that I will always have a little (?) pain and "issues going on" up in my nose. Rinsing does help a lot though...
counting so far: 14 don't have it. 11 have it.

Rest in Peace, my brave Batman and take care of your weggies from heaven, until we meet again.

Hi. Probably a little late.
I also have saddle nose. When it happened it was so sudden I was shocked.
My normal dr asked me if I had broken my nose. It happened in the week I was hospitalised nearly blind and the specialists were carrying out all types of tests and biopsies. An ent dr drove a rod with a camera up both nostrils into the sinus area (without any anesthetics). I seriously though he broke my nose.
Much later I was told it was damage caused by wegeners.
