I recently had a scare with my pituitary gland due to some hormones being off in my blood work. Had an MRI and it came out clear though! That would be awful not to be able to blow your nose.

Luckily, the loss of my voice was not a problem for long as this was a very hardcore course and complete Noble Silence was immediately invoked throughout the whole first 10 days. However, the running-faucet-like nose was definitely an issue, especially when you're meditating for two hours at a time in the meditation hall where you must have the deepest respect and concentration; moving is discouraged, and leaving the hall is prohibited unless unavoidable. Of course, when you're sitting there in the midst of a group of 40 or so utterly silent people, and in the presence of your two honourable teachers, you don't want to be sniffling constantly. It was an uphill battle, I assure you. However, I managed to cultivate discipline, patience, and "constant vigilence" (like a good buddhist), restraining myself from sniffling--or wiping my nose or, god forbid, having to leave the hall to have a real good nasal clearing session--juuuust long enough that the snot was starting to edge into plain sight (this was a particularly disgusting cold.) Apparently, from what I've read, it's actually healthier (though less socially acceptable) to let your nose run. Blowing it can actually reverse the flow of mucous back into your nasal cavities.
