So, its been well over 12 days that Ive been having nose bleeds. They range from once to three times a day and from light bleeding to very heavy.
In an effort to stop the bleeding ive tried Cyclokapron, a humidifier and coconut oil in my nose but none of this has worked.
I went to see my family doctor and she suggested cauterizing it but I'm really not convinced that taking a hot tool to my nose is gonna help.
I thinking the best bet will be four units of fresh frozen plasma.
I am going to my Hemophilia Clinic tomorrow for a check up so I will see what they have to say.
I've included this awesome illustration by my daring friend, Silvana Moran to highlight how i'm feeling.

When the heat cranks up in the colder months I often get nose bleeds too. Now I am on prophylactic does of RiaStat it is much better. However, it's still important for me to keep the nasal passages hydrated. I use a saline gel rather than a spray and it works well. No need to look like Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer!
ReplyDeleteThat's terrible Ry! I thought I got more nose bleeds than anyone I know but sounds like you have me beat! The forest fires are really bad for it. I thought coconut oil worked better than any vaseline or nasal lube I've tried. Sounds like u are doing all that you can! I hope you find something that works for you. Love you my darling girl! Miss you and sending lots of Christmas love your way. x0x0x0x0
