Fantastic. Laid down to go to bed and my nose started bleeding like crazy. Awesome. Bleeding out of both ends is not how I expected to end tonight. -.-
Just watching YouTube videos, since MrRama went to bed like a grandpa. I've been popping back on to GKU, so it's not your imagination that I'm around sparingly. :)
Lol, silly old men. I am not on nearly as much as I used to be either, so that just makes it even worse. It's nice to see you in these parts! Although I very much wish you were just a visitor <3

Boo. Roll up a piece of paper towel and shove it uncomfortably snug in your upper lip. Stops the bleeding faster.

Yuck!! Do you get nosebleeds often? Or just all dried out? Hope you can go to bed soon

Already done. It's my go-to thing since hearing about it in middle school.

Not that I have had a nosebleed in a very long time... but maybe for someone else.
We had actual nose "tampons" when I worked at the hospital. So funny! But they work!
It's a trick my dad learned in a medical training many years ago. Apparently, one of the main arteries/veins that supplies your nose is there, so if you do it right, you cut it off!
I had it double confirmed in a first aid/CPR class years ago, too. :) And, of course, the experiential evidence speaks volumes.

I got my sinuses cauterized when I was around 6/7. I still remember what I was wearing when they did it because it was such a weird experience.

That's awesome!! Now I feel the need to go do some research because I want to know what it's called. Lol.

You should report back whenever you do. I'm curious, but not so curious I care to look.
So it looks like what you are talking about is the superior labial artery... but it doesn't actually provide tons of blood flow to the nose. I suppose if it is a very superficial bleed it might make sense. Just a dry nose, irritation type thing, but not sure it would do much for any sort of a traumatic injury. I wonder if it would compress that greater palatine artery? There is enough bone there I am not sure it would.
Whatever the picture says I believe from your experience it must help.
****** - Once upon a time ADP (and yes, i'm going to badmouth the hell out of them) fucked me over for several months causing me to have to submit shittons of pharmacy receipts for reimbursement. We are up to $600 right now, I think.
Well, I was finally free of those assholes as of Feb 1st...or so I thought. Nope, they haven't terminated my COBRA, and are cockblocking me from using my new insurance. ADP is aware that I have a new plan because my new plan is through the same insurance provider; however, they would not terminate my cobra plan without a written request from me (even though I was on the phone pleading for it to be terminated). Because ADP has not terminated my coverage my insurance company keeps processing all of claims through the ADP managed plan. They told this being done because it is the oldest plan on file so it has to be processed there first before going to my new plan(which makes zero sense to me). The insurance company has been very understanding but their hands are tied because ADP does not allow them to make any changes without their permission. This means that all of my Prior Authorizations are pretty much being held hostage under this other plan and I am being forced to pay out of pocket for covered medications until it is resolved.
The kicker of this entire nonsense is that when I called the ADP call center they refused to connect me with someone in their COBRA department. They told me that they only communicate with them through a messaging program and they do not have access to any of their phone numbers. Basically, in ADP world the people running the COBRA department are like the Wizard of Oz. WTF. When the girl on the phone huffed at me when I asked how I could communicate with other than snail mail, I lit into her because I am so over this shit. She is not the first person at ADP that I have yelled at and will not be the last I suspect.
I am officially that person that yells at call center representatives.
TL;DR: I fucking hate ADP. They have no zero customer service skills. They have bled me dry for several months because people working there cannot process paperwork properly, and their policies are beyond ridiculous.
I got my sinuses cauterized when I was around 6/7. I still remember what I was wearing when they did it because it was such a weird experience.
I did, too. It didn't work.
I have a friend that had to have it done 3 times. Now he's good.
My parents had been debating if I should get it done when I managed to get a severe noseblood during the christmas pagaent at church. Nothing says Merry Christmas quite like a little angel standing on the altar covered in blood.
