I think the gods hate me, maybe i made the "dont trust girls because nothing can bleed for that long that often and be human" joke because a for a vast majority of my life, i've suffered from chronic nosebleeds. I just got back from dealing with one just now in fact. My doctors have tried everything I could think of, nasal sprays to cauterizing it, which is annoying and i've done at least like five times. ugh.

I used to get nosebleeds really bad too. I never had anything done doctor wise about it though. They just quit, for the most part.
I can't count the number of times I woke up in the morning and found my pillow covered in blood.
Who knows why it changed, but now I hardly ever get them anymore. I don't know if you use any sprays, but if you read the label on some drugs like Flonase, it says that one of the common side effects is nosebleeds.

i only use the stuff my doctors tell me to use, and even that not really. i typically wake up when it starts to bleed, or when my nose runs, for every time it does i think it's blood and run to get tissue to check. that's how often it used to happen. now it's like once everything few months, up until this week, where i had one tonight and one last friday night.

I have constant nosebleeds. I'm also slightly anemic. My iron gets low and bam! I look like I got punched in the face. Maybe you should get your doctor to check your iron. Unless they already have, then ignore me...*whistles nonchalantly*

My 12 year old gets them constantly. It's worse when the air is dry, as it dries out the membranes in your nose and cause the bleeds. The only thing they told me was to try and keep it humid but not too humid to cause mold (since we live in a damp climate here) and to put bacitracin cream in his nose with a q-tip each time he gets a bleed. Both an ENT dr and his ped told me that...

yeah i do that, but replace Vaseline with the bacitracin. it does work for a while, and the humidifier helps sometimes. i didn't mention the qtip thing because i thought y'all would find it gross.
