Question regarding sinus involvement
Up to this point I've shown no signs of sinus involvement other than occasional runniness and a bit of crusting. That said I was at the chiropractor today and I felt the familiar drip...but when I looked down it was a weird orange/red color. Not a normal nose bleed, but not just a runny nose. My mind of course decided to run to it was a new symptom, which would mean I'm not going into remission I'd think. So my question...has anyone seen anything like this? Could it just be the dry air maybe?
I do see my family doctor tomorrow so I'll have him take a look up that side of my nose to at least check if anything looks odd.

Have you had to irrigate your nose up to this point Bob? It could be just the dry air, but who knows. Irrigating certainly would not hurt.

I haven't had to, the previous visits to the CC ENT he said there were no signs of involvement in the nose so I haven't really paid much attention to it.

It is probably dry, just keep an eye out and make sure your not bleeding more.

I agree with Elephant and Phil. Time will tell if it's something you need to be concerned about.
Phil, love your new avatar!

Ya, I was actually able to get a new avatar. I think that is the summer of 06 or 07 when I was in remission and off meds. I wish I could feel as good as I did back then.

Thanks all. I've been stressing out lately....I honestly think the Prednisone is having a bad effect on my modes lately. Everything is bothering me more than it has for a while....I'll have the doctor check the nose since I'm there today anyway, but it sounds like I'm panicking needlessly

doc says the nose looks fine (just a bit red). So basically I was worrying about nothing. I need to kick back a little bit I think, my stress levels seem to be going up, which doesn't go well with my pred induced mood swings.

I'm glad everything looks okay, Bob. Do something fun if you can to let your mind relax a bit.
