So, last Tuesday, I underwent surgery to correct a deviated septum. My nose was essentially fractured in three different places, if you can believe it... but now I find myself preoccupied with some rather unsettling bleeding. It feels as though it’s coming through the packing, yet I’ve reached a point where I can practically "spit up blood." They were supposed to remove my nasal tampons today, but instead, they've pushed it back to Thursday. Honestly, hello? I would much rather swallow my own blood than deal with them pulling those things out. :O

Now, I am curious to hear about your own experiences—assuming anyone here has gone through something similar?

My mother used to suffer from some kind of skin condition on her hands. I’m fairly certain it was psoriasis; I remember vividly how her skin would peel away, and the itching—it sounded absolutely agonizing. I was just a young child at the time, but I distinctly recall a woman applying some sort of dark, tar-like substance to her hands. From that moment on, the condition vanished, and she hasn't seen a flare-up in over fifteen years. Is it possible for a single application to provide such long-lasting relief?
