darn nose

[coffeelover]

Hi all! Sorry i havent been around. Sold my business and the preparation to sell, keot me hopping for months. Also my health has been pretty much the same. I feel pretty good, although i feel my stenosis when i bike. (My new passion). Going to a new ent in rochester, mn in sept. I can wait that long. My nose on the other hand is quite annoying, inflamed, bleeding, or just feeling clogged. Any advice? I do sinus rinses twice a day, take 10mg pred and weekly mxt. Gaining weight again too.....hate it. Also, looking for a job. i'll try to catch up. Glad to be back . Lisa coffeelover

So nice to see you, Lisa! (Though I wish it was under better circumstances) Do you think you might be flaring? Your nose sounds bad.

I have to ask the same question. Those would be a sure sign of trouble in my case.

Me too. On my last flare my nose bleeds were main symptom along with infection of sinuses and bronchitis. Antibiotics, increase in Imuran, and steroid nasal spray seemed to do the trick along with frequent nasal rinses and lots of warm moist air humidity in sinuses. Did your lab markers also go up? Mine did.

Yes, my flares used to show up both in my bloods and symptoms so at least they were sorted quickly!
