Default Nosebleeds (may be TMI for some)

What I think is this: I have some dodgy blood vessels which are very
close to the surface in my nose. Even closer than most other people.
Added to this my blood seems thinner now I low carb than it used to be
- it is disctinctly more liquid. It's now liquid in the way that
water is liquid rather than (as it used to be) liquid in the way that
single cream is liquid. When I last gave blood I was able to fill the
bag in about ten minutes rather than the half an hour it had usually
taken me, so I'm sure I'm not imagining it.


ALSO!!!!
Something VERY important!
If you get nosebleeds very easily your preferred painreliever should
be Tylenol, not aspirin or Ibuprofen or Naproxen sodium.
I cannot take anything but Tylenol due to horrible nosebleeds as a child.
I once tried Ibuprofen when I was 27 and woke up with my pillow totally
covered
in blood and it pouring from my nose. Ive had all these same problems all my
life.
Unfortunately I cant use a humidifier in my house cause it stirs up molds
which
make my allergies worse.
