Hi Everyone,
First KUDO's for this great site that allows us to discuss our aliment that encompasses our Dailey lives.
I have HHT. I had my first bad nosebleed when I was in my early teens. The family would say "You have a nose just like your father". By the time I was in my early 20's I was having my nose cauterized 2-3 times a year. For the next 40 years 3-5 times a year, some on additional parts of my body. The last 15 years it has been in done the operating room with a surgical team and a anesthetist. Boy the worst part of the operation was having the hoses stuck down your throat, which hurt more afterward than the cautery. At this point there is not much left inside my nose but a hole in the septum large enough to put a 9mm bullet through. Now the bleeds come from farther up the nostril. Controlling the bleeding once it has started has been the MAJOR problem. Last year I came across Colostrum Liquid while surfing the web for nosebleeds. It stated it stopped nosebleeds almost instantly. On it's arrival I had a chance to use it almost immediately. It's liquid and I dipped a cotton ball in it and with tweezers stuck it way up the side that was bleeding. Within two minutes the bleeding stopped. I removed it after ten minutes and there was hardly any clot....I could breathe! From that moment on I started carrying it in my kit that I take with me Dailey. I finally had a major blow out, both sides at the same time (a sneeze). What a mess....By the time I got to the Colostrum it was difficult to get it up each side. The hole in my nose lets it run out of both sides. After 30 minutes or so, I finally got it stopped. The trick is to get the Colostrum in there as soon as it starts, before it's a gusher. I started swabbing the Colostrum into both sides of my nose several times a day when it WASN'T bleeding. I did that for 2 months Dailey. I havent had a bad nosebleed in 4 months...none at all in 3 weeks. I use polysporum dailey to loosen up and clean each side. I only use the Colostrum now if it bleeds. If anyone else has used it let me know. It has worked for me.
