im having a nosebleed and its lasted 4 a little over an hour... n e sugestions on wut to do? i dont want to wake my parents cuz they get mad...

:eek: Oh God..nosebleeds. Something that Ive always been scared of. Seriously, wake up your parents if its a bad nosebleed. Once, my mother had to go to the hospital because she lost so much blood. If its only a lil blood, its probably because your nose it too dry..try moisturizing it. Keep your head titled up and kinda pinch it lightly where the eyes are..right on the bone. But ya, if its bad..WAKE THEM UP!

im starting to cough up blood... is that good or bad? *gets nervous* ok... im gonna get my mom up... i guess... i just feel really guilty about it... thanks

before i wake her im tryin something my mom taght me as a last resort one time... i hope it works... ive been to the er way to much cuz of my lupus...

I'm glad your nosebleed stopped. My niece was in her mid-20s when she was diagnosed 10 years ago. Some days, she can't even get out of bed and vomits all day. It's awful for her. She has 3 children under the age of 10.
A lot of people aren't aware just how devastating Lupus can be until they meet someone with it or get it themselves. Hopefully, they'll find a cure soon.
Take care of yourself. :)

u too and i hope ur neice gets either meds that can keep her perky or a cure... and thanks... now... just to be informative, i'm gonna post a little lupus thread b4 i go back to bed. :D

:( Im sorry for the both of you having to deal with lupus whether its you or a family member.

:D Im glad your nosebleed stopped!!!
