Shir, good luck getting a flight!

We’re having a busy school vacation week. We had a play date with vw and Stitch, then ltc spent two days with my in-laws, today she is at museum camp, and tomorrow she goes to Mom’s for two days, while TCG and I get a date night!

Hive mind! need some info.

I've started having nosebleeds. Haven't had them before, but starting Monday I was having them. From one nostril. They do, eventually, stop. I did a search and, well, I was doing a lot wrong. But going through half a box of tissues to mop up the blood.

Any advice?

Could they be caused by allergies? Maybe take some antihistamines?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Two other possible culprits to consider: high blood pressure, and dehydration.

HBP is possible - it's been with me for YEARS. I've been drinking non-caffeinated drinks most of the day. sigh ....

On the flip side, I used to have problems using a nasal allergy spray that was alcohol-based, like Flonase.

I wondered if using Flonase made me develop cataracts earlier than I would have otherwise.
