    Default Tear duct obstruction..bloody nose..severe headaches..

    new to this forum

    recently i found out that my tear duct is obstructed...this is when the tears in your eyes don't drain properly and they just sit there..and when my tear duct started to act up thats when my headache started aswell...I asked my doctor if there is a chance they can be linked together he said that the headache has nothing to do with it...so i don't know what happenin :/

    And i have had a bloody nose on and off..mostly on for the past 4-5 months :/

    Anyone experienced these kind of affects that im going through? Also i've relapsed..i was diagnosed with weggy when i was 17...im 21 now..

    Anyways i hope someone can give some insigh to this...

    I have a feeling it could be my sinus but im not sure...

    Ballfolife,

    When all of mine first began I was having headaches along with the nose bleeds and that was the first signs of my Wegs. Are you seeing a Wegs Specialist ? It took almost 2 years to get my sinuses back to close to being normal.
    My tear ducts weren't obstructed at first but they both have been that way for some time and my ENT tells me that it is directly assoiciated with my sinuses. We have talked about putting in tubes but he would rather not if they don't get infected and it doesn't bother me to much because it could possibly create more problems with my sinuses as for as the healing.

    Hi Ballfolife, sounds like you are flaring...need to see your Rhuematologist. I was going to ask the same question as Dumpy. Are you seeing a Wegeners specialist? You don't want to wait, you really need to be checked out, so that there is no damage occurring. Let us know how you are doing.

    And when i first had it i was 17 yrs old..my symptoms were red eyes..coughing up/puking blood and shortness of breathe...I was on cyclo and all the other good drugs for about year and a half..it cleared up..than recently last december i started up coughing up blood again and in febuary i officially relapsed ...so yeah..im not new to this at all i've been down this road before...

    He must be taking about Cellcept, I take that along with other stuff to keep my Wegeners quiet.
    Ballfolife, glad you are on here, you can ask any question and will be here for you.
    If you start to get worse call your rhuemy, I am sure you are on top of this.
