Nose bleeds from the brain??

[Dagun]

I have been thinking about this for a while now, around that time when my symptoms started, I had a very strange nose bleed while sleeping. It just was dripping on my pillow and woke me up, I ran to the bathroom and over the sink. It felt like my nose and more far "up there" was full, and then I saw like a thick "blood liver" (don´t know if this is the right word- small balloon full of blood) and I pullet it out of there. When that was out then it was finished, there was no wound or anything I would have been picking in.

It felt to me like it was from the brain not the nose. I called my PC and  she thought it was nothing to worry about ( I think she did not really believe me, thought it was just a nose bleed). This happened twice again, few months apart, once more sleeping and once driving (not picking my nose). Always with this strange "blood liver" but I think it was a little less. Because the doctor thought so little of this, I did not connect this to anything. Until now I have been thinking if this might have been because of some kind demyelination of the brain? Could it be? Does anyone know this or has it happened to any of you?

I just remembered something... on my MRI two years ago my neuro said that one of my Sphenoid Sinuses seemed filled with fluid (I know that is a strange sinus to get fluid in), so maybe that was the blood clotting? I had no cold or virus at that time (not even for a long time). So that must be it..

Thank you all, yeah ofcourse it must be something like that. But I never remember feeling like I have a "dry problem" but even though, it must have been something that clotted up in a sinus or somewere "up there" and then one day "decided" to burst :). This has not happened for a while now, so I don´t really need to worry about it. I just had to get these thoughts out of my mind. Thank you!
My best to you all,

I have too agree with Sarah ad Alex.  Blood from the nose is from the nose and not from the brain unless you have a severe skull fracture.  Clotted blood can certainly look like a piece of liver and MS does not cause nosebleeds.

I would have to think that the nosebleeds and neurologic symptoms are not related to each other.

What you pulled out what just clotted blood.  Alex's advice about saline gel is very good.  

It is possible you have gotten your nose very dry, are dehydrated, or are in a dry climate/area of your house.

When I worked in ER, we would tell pts to blow their nose, which as you found out, would clear the problem.

I often get nose bleeds, sometimes because of sinus problems, or dry conditions in the house.

I doubt you would be bleeding from your brain or that MS caused the nose bleed.

I have never heard of Nose bleeds with MS. It could be possible I am not a doctor. I get nose bleeds from dry sinuses. I have to put gel saline in my nose.
