Scott,
Wow! That's a lot of questions all at once. You'll find answers to most of your questions just by browsing this site. Most ENS sufferers have extreme nasal dryness, increased mucus production, crusting in their nose, their nose feels too open, decreased sense of smell, etc. Chris Martin has written an excellent book on ENS. I purchased it prior to my implant surgery and found it very informative. I would recommend you get a copy of it to help you better understand ENS.

I do feel this. Not sure of the reason yet though. I expect the septum is too free to move around now, but don't know.
if there is crusting where does that occur in the nasal valve or the nostrils?
I get it in both areas.
do the majority of ens patients have dryness and sleep problems?
Yes. I'm on seroquel for sleep now, which has really helped.

I'm not sure on some of the other questions. My biggest problems are pain, nerve pain, dryness, crusting, and sleep.
