Oh, just to let you all know. . . . I sneezed, got a bloody nose and a jumbo clot again. Ew. I'll have mercy and won't post another batch of pictures (yes, I took pics of the new one also ;-), but suffice to say that I'm rather disturbed (and grotesquely appalled. . . . is ANY of that spelled right?), and if this becomes a regular thing tomorrow am planning on calling my doctor. . . 2 reasons.
1- super lots of blood loss
2- those clots (or I PRESUME they're clots. . . ) just aren't normal
3- (I lied. . . 3 reasons) it'll be gushing gushing gushing, clot, and then will gush for about 15 seconds longer and then very abruptly just stop. That's sort of skeezy, too.
2 times I can deal with. A habit of it worries me though. Tasty!
Thanks for your concerns. . . . . I <3 you all. And actually. . . after both bleeds my throat and back of my nose (where it goes into my oral cavity) were both feeling pretty raw for about an hour. And then the back of my nose just has continued to burn when I swallow. . . I think I have some mucous back there packing up though in the opposite nostril, so that may be part of THAT, at least. And I got a headache (think achy, not sharp, not tension, not sinus, not migraine, etc.) after the second bleed, but I also hadn't really eaten yet (I woke up late, and just snacked 'cause if I ate a sandwich or whatever I wouldn't be hungry for dinner til an ungodly hour and I don't fancy eating that at midnight), and that cleared up shortly after I ate.
