nosebleeds for a month or two, but then the problem cleared up on it's own. One
of those times I'll NEVER forget. I had an orgasm and my nose started to bleed!!


Child, you are TOO much! I read JC der Koenig's posts just to see if
he ever says anything different (no) but I *never* know what to expect
from yours! Keep up the good work - it's a hoot. Kalish

Meanwhile I will do something about the (lack of) humidity in the flat
and get something to moisten my passages as that might be part of the

issue.

Though is sounds a bit gross, I've found that KY jelly works really well.
Put a bit in each nostril and then inhale to move it deeper into the nasal
passages. Its water soluble and odorless, unlike Vaseline which is greasy
and smells. I used to get nosebleeds from dry airplane air and this
eliminated them. Though your problem sounds much more severe it still might
help.

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.

A very easy way to moisturize the dry heated air in your flat would be simply
to set an oven-proof container of water on or near your heater. I use a copper
bowl on top of my heater.


I used to use bread pans filled with water on the radiators, when I
lived in New England. And a nice, non-artificial-smelling way to add a
nice scent is to add a few cloves, a stick of cinnamon, and a few drops
of lemon oil to the water (commercial pot pourri mixtures and oils all
make me sneeze).

A lot of allergy prone folks in my family have some problems with minor
nosebleeds in the dry heating season, but my mother had worse nosebleeds
like the OP, that had to be cauterized.

I live in a fairly humid climate. When I go out west, I get several nosebleeds
from the dry air.

Interesting observation. Years ago I saw the ER doctor give a man cocaine to
try to stop his nosebleed. Didn't work, they had to cauterize it.

Also when I was a Paramedic I had a patient die from a nosebleed (anterior
aneurysm). He had a nosebleed for 2 days before his wife called an ambulance.
