Quote from: Florestan on March 10, 2025, 11:58:03 PMThat's both bad news and good news but it seems the good is more important than the bad. Best luck with your nostrils, anyway!
Yes, same from me John.

Thank you both. I truly appreciate it.

Comedienne Gilda Radner had a catch-line: "It just goes to show ya: it's always somethin' !"

We hope that "something" stops happening to you, and things can be "nothing" for a while at least! 😇

Quote from: Der lächelnde Schatten on March 10, 2025, 06:20:38 PMWhen rains it pours as the old adage goes, this morning, around 8 to exact, I awoke to use the bathroom and, all of sudden, I felt a little tingle in the right side of my nose and then it started to bleed uncontrollably --- and, actually, it ended up becoming both nostrils that were affected. I have a history of nosebleeds and the cause has always been cold or flu-related symptoms where the inner lining of both nostrils have become raw. Anyway, I had to wake my mom so she could drive me to the ER and finally they were able to stop the bleeding. I received a referral to go to the ENT doctor in their network and so scheduled an appointment for next Monday (the 17th).

Hopefully, I can get the veins in my nose cauterized so I won't have this problem again. I just can't allow this to happen again, because not only does it hinder all activity to the point of standstill, but it affects others, too. Trust me, I didn't want to bother anyone with my problem.

On the upside, the Bell's palsy I was diagnosed with is subsiding and movement in the right side of my face has returned. I still have some trouble with swishing water around in my mouth, but I suppose this comes with the territory. Both of my parents mentioned to me they have seen a vast improvement in my condition.

Sorry to hear all this 🤔🤨

Thanks! I've got an appointment on Monday with an ENT doctor, so I'm hoping they can put an end to the nosebleeds.

A little update: I saw the ENT doctor today and he was able to cauterize both nostrils. He prescribed some ointment that I will need to apply at least three times a day for two weeks. Hopefully, everything heals nicely and the nosebleeds stop.

Pleasantly surprised to see that my hiatus from the forum was noted, that's kind of you. I've been quite busy with school unfortunately and have not had the time I once had for internet forums, but classical music remains a big part of my life. I've missed several of the posters here dearly, including you!
