I suffer from nosebleeds, well, that's a lie, I've had the bloody (no pun intended) things for so many years that the suffering is well and truly over, now, I just endure them and put up with the bloody (still no pun intended) things.
Over the years I've had all the normal advice, head back, head forward, pinch bridge of nose, stick toilet paper up nose and even cauterisation (which is a particularly vivid childhood memory, after all, it's not every day you get a cotton bud coated in a very caustic substance rammed up your nostril and wiped all over every sensitive mucus membrane you've got).
As you have probably realised by now, I'm currently having nosebleeds, I normally get them once or twice a year for a week or two, this particular episode is being exceptionally trying. No point whining about it though, not like you lot can do much to help me (no posts offering advice please, like I said, had it all before, I know what works best for me by now which is head back, breath though nose and swallow any excess blood)
Ah well, I'll survive, considering that my general state of health is bloody good, I reckon that the occasional (irritating) nosebleed is bearable but still, I could really do without them.
