Hi All

I have had problems with nose bleeds, crusting and stuffiness for years. I have been on all sorts of drop,sprays and ointments to try to help over the years. I have recently been very tired with muscle weakness and very bunged up.

I tried the steam room at the gym and it seemed to help clear my nose for a short while.

Thinking I had found a remedy I purchased a bottle of Menthol & Eucalyptus Inhalation to try. Got the hot water and put in the mix. Put my head over the bowl and in under a minute the mixture turned red. I had a very bad bleed from my right side. It took over two hours to stop. I must say it proberly did not help with the Blood thinning tablets I am on for the heart procedure (Stent fitted Oct 2008) and the blood pressure tablets.

I won't be trying this idea again. Has anyone had a similar experience.

I wish that a site like this was available when I was diagnosed, it is a great help to talk to fellow sufferers, well done Andrew
