Re: Runny Nose

[Guest guest]

I too have a runny nose, everyday for the past 3 years. I also have Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis and one of the side effects or symptoms is a runny nose, I guess that's how I got mine but I live on sinus pills.

I have small amount of trouble with runny nose also, just from my 6L

of O2. The water bottle on the tanks helped that problem a lot.. I

would be very nervous about bleeding while on Coumadin. I take 8 mgs

a day of Coumadin and am supposed to call drs. asap if there is any

sign of continued bleeding,from any part of my anatomy.

I did cut my hand last year, accidentally, while fixing

breakfast...it was scarey seeing so much blood that just pumped out

of the cut. I got to ER, partially stitched up, then a week later

had to have surgery due to MRSA infection in the incision. I am so

much more careful now with knives and signs and symptoms of bleeding:)
