Kelly, A few years back my wife suffered from a series of nose bleeds...very serious. They said it couldn't be caused by job stress, but we still don't bekieve that. She changed jobs and they went away as soon as she gave her notice.
Two things we were told by ENT's and that helped were:
1. We bought a small humidifier for the bedroom.
2. There is a produdt out there, sold over the counter, the name is something like "Ocean Breeze" or Ocean Spray" Basically it's just water with a few chemicals added. Using thta at least twice a day really seemed to help.
Caveat...I'm not a doctor, but we do go to two Dr's who ride Harleys.
Take care and thanks for the report. Beat wishes to you and your husband. Art

That's what I ended up doing is buying saline nasal spray. Kind of drove the hubby nuts though seeing we live right near the ocean. Half the time the AC is on just to keep the humidity out the the house.

Kelly,

Story is interesting to read, but much better play by play over the phone! Maybe I'll join you guys next time around.

Sounds like some bad luck followed you ------> I just heard about the cigarette lighter incident.

Dutchess County, NY to Sturgis and back 5069 Miles.

Trip out: Sat. 08/06/05 NY, Pa, Ohio, Indiana, Ill, Wisconsin, Minn, Keystone SD, arrived Tues 08/09/05.

Trip home: Sunday 08/14/05 (46 degrees) Keystone, SD, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Tenn, NC (via Smokey Mtns), Va, W Va, Md, Pa, Dutchess County NY, arrived home Friday 08/19/05.

The trip out was quite hot. While in SD we got rained on (Thunder storms) about three times. Our ride from I90 to our hotel was about 30 miles into the mountains. Not much fun in the POURING rain.

Sunday morning when we left to go home temps were in the 40's and overcast. Temps never got higher than the 60's. Poured Wednesday going through the Smokey's, poured Thursday morning for about 150 miles and poured again on Friday from HArrisburg, Pa to Wilkes Barre, Pa.

All in all a good trip and decent weather.

Sites seen:
-Corn Palace
-Badlands
-Wall Drug
-Mt Rushmore
-Crazy Horse
-Sturgis
-Full Throttle Sallon
-SD National Cemetery
-Spearfish Canyon
-Devil's Tower
-Smokey Mtn's
