(2,248 posts)It was about fifteen seconds in each nostril. I had to take about a thirty second breather between swabs to recompose. It felt like I really had to sneeze and the feeling reminded me of getting water up my nose at the swimming pool. But, it was no more uncomfortable for me that any visit to the dentist!
And, Thanks,
I am looking forward to sleeping bed with my wife tonight, instead of on the couch!
Also I'm glad I can go back to work, there are a lot of people I want to be with.

(2,248 posts)I really didn't think it was so bad, maybe the technique was a little different.
Did you get your results?

You're the one who rocks!
By the way, I'm drinking some Kirkland Cabernet!
