Is heavy nose bleeding a symptom?
|
|
|
| Folks,
I have had an unstoppable nose bleed since last night, I have made a
mess here and my wife is amused that we men cant handle blood. Anyway is
this something that happens with MS? Do you have any remedies?

Change wives!
Oh, you didn't mean a remedy for your WIFE? 
I would see the doc about that if it is still continuing. Not going to make
predictions. If it is constant and not stopping, go see the doc.

| To be honest, I like my wife's sense of humor. I would have left me, if I
were her. It seems too many things have gone wrong in my life, I do get a
shot of reality when I go see the doc and see the kids who have my problems
..I am about 50 and some of them are teenagers :-( I should go visit him
soon. Maybe for nose bleeding.

hi abdi,
i've never had a problem with nosebleeds, this will be my 15th
'anniversary' with M.S. this year.
do you take any meds that might thin your blood?
if tilting your head back and holding a bag of ice on your nose haven't
worked, i;d say make an appt. with the doc.

| You are absolutely right, I searched the web and it is a common side effect
of Aspirin and Lipitor and I do both,
oh well it was an experience, seems I am ok now.

If having a nosebleed, do not tip your head back, bend it forward and pinch your
nostrils. Tilting your head back is what people do, but all that does is let the
blood run down your throat and make you vomit.

disgusting. But knock on wood it has not come back, it was a very traumatic
experience.

Yeah well you may like her sense of humour but I have to tell you, I
received a chain letter that described if you and every other guy were to
package the wife and send her to an anonymous person, the chances that you
would receive a supermodel would be pretty good. Of course you MAY receive a
wife with the history of Paris Hilton (in other words, needs a retread in a
certain spot by the age of 20!), too!
I try to keep reality in front of me, too. I haven't had a day to date in my
life where I haven't been sick and that includes from the day I was born. If
I look at it literally, I think that up to the age of about 15 I deserved
some sort of sympathy but after that I don't. I do deserve an apology from
my parents who constantly berated me for being lazy, never took me seriously
and didn't take me to the docs when things like my jaw was severely damaged
as a 7 year old and let it heal as it would. They added to my woes by being
like that and you would have thought that 6 weeks of having to drink water
and soup through a straw and not being able to eat anything that I had to
chew and couldn't open the mouth enough to even brush my teeth would have
clued them in but that's life. They weren't being deliberately as bad as
that might seem. My father believed boys from about 5 shouldn't kiss their
father or make any emotional display of any kind excepting to their mother
and only then controlled and in private and that was just the way it was.
However, I am 50 this year and though sickness has dogged every single part
of my life, I am definitely better off than most. It is all balancing on a
knife edge, financially but right now, I look at the sick and
underprivileged and I think what I would do if I were to win money. Our govt
here wont pay a damned thing to me (I wont go into that as it is beside the
point) which has forced me to work as long as I can in a day and that can be
very dangerous to me but I work doing stuff I really like so life's
definitely nowhere near as bad as it could be.
Count my blessings:
My wife, my dogs,
My life, no clogs!!
Clear GOOD memories of being a child,
Nearly 50 and still hair enough to go wild!
A woman who loves me even though I am confused
Who jokes and jests and in my confusion seems bemused.
If that aint a great life then the point I miss
Because God's laughing at me and taking the piss!
I often said, though I don't have kids "What's the use having kids and not
being able to laugh at them?" and I bet that if you are religious (I admit I
am not a bible basher), God must be saying about the same.

| You see Paris Hilton, probably would have turned me on at 30, but at 50, I
am more into compatibility, kind of like a worn set of jeans. To be honest,
I avoid all gatherings, including Persian New year on March 21st at 7:30
local time. A lot of it is MS, I do not like the way I need assistance.

Only a creator with a sense of humor could have invented sexual
reproduction.

You can stop it by laying in your bed with your back and head propped up on
pillows and an ice-pack sitting low on your forehead and on the bridge of
your nose. Sometimes squeezing the very upper part of the bridge of your
nose helps block bloodflow to the area and allows clotting.

Not true! Sexual Reproduction was invented by your local sewerage dept. Only
THEY would put a sewer near a fun park!

|
| By third night, I finally wizened up to that, called the nurse and she told
me about the ice pack and also some moist cotton in each nose hole, it was
not fun but I am bleed free for one day. Thank God. It was pretty bad.

Jokes about that time of month and what that would mean in the context of
your letter swim in my addled mind. I cant help it. Nobody may understand me
but I amuse MYSELF with those thoughts, sometimes.
Remember that old joke about a guy who couldn't get a date because he had a
wooden eye?
Anyway, he gets set up with a girl and as he is coming to the bar where they
are to meet, he sees her from behind and she had a gorgeous body and full
luxurious hair. She turns around and has a veil over the lower part of her
face but the top part makes her look drop-dead gorgeous and he is very
excited. Naturally, not wanting to scare her off, he is wearing an eye
patch. After drinks and dinner, they retire to her place and he says to her
that he has a confession to make and takes off his eye patch to reveal his
wooden eye.
The girl looks at it then her eyes crinkle at the corner in an obvious sign
of a smile behind the veil and she says that she, too, has a secret to
reveal and removes the veil to show she has a mouth that goes up and down
instead of normal.
He stops and looks at her face and tells her she is the most beautiful thing
he has ever seen and she tells him she is still a virgin with a look of hope
on her face. So, he gets up the nerve and says "Would you like to make love
to me?" to which she replies "Oh wouldn' I?". He yells "Ahhhh get stuffed
C*** face!" to her.
OK it's better hearing it than reading it!

Not that Im aware of, but thats not why I replied. Garlic, aspirin, are two
of the things that do though. Is it real dry where youre at? Humidity
levels play a part in that a low level can dry out, and then crack, nasal
membranes. A humidifier helps in such cases.
