Bleeding | Arthritis Information

Ok so this happened about a month ago on one of the car trips out to Ohio, my nose started bleeding and did off and on for the whole car ride (6hrs) and its been doing it on and off since then.  Is that normal w/ being on Pred? 

 

I don't know, but I did have a little of that with the change in weather and the dry heat being pumped into my house with MTX.  I just thought it would be that.  I have not been on Pred long term, so I don't know if that could be it.  My doc. has only used pred for one month once...and then short term for sinus infection. 

I'm sorry to hear you're having problems with bleeding.  Like it's not bad enough to be on prednisone.......

While it's true dry heat can cause this problem, be sure it's not your blood pressure causing the problem.  That can happen very easily if any hypertension is involved.  Also, if your car trip was stressful at all, your blood pressure could be involved and you wouldn't even know it.

I hope this problem is resolved very quickly.
My best to you,
KIMM
