How do nosebleeds develop? (without cuts or blunt force)
In: 214
I had serious nosebleeds from the effects of chemo on me – like Its-a-throw-away said, dry mucus membranes split and crack – I had dry eye, dry sinuses, dry mouth, dry vaginal tissues and most important, the lining of my intestines mostly died, leaving me with a 35 foot road rash that wouldn’t scab up inside – I was shedding interstitial fluid and blood fast enough I ended up in hospital just barely before my organs were going to start shutting down – 2 IVs running full bore 24 hours a day, no chemo drugs and radiation for a week and I healed up enough to finish the last 9 days of chemo and radiation [I was at the stage where I was getting oral chemo and radiation every day for a total of 26 days – something like 54 gray dosing. [it was more than I got on any random multimonth contract working repairing nuke plants professionally]
I still get random nosebleeds if I don’t get enough water, I tend to drink about 3 liters a day now automatically, and I pretty much constantly use nasal saline spray and neutral saline eyedrops. I do have some goop for dry mouth but it is artificially flavored and sweetened and tastes like crap which is why I drink so much water.
