> um, no, actually, by saying a place no one should be bleeding from that doesn`t give it away, to me anyway... i am thinking ears or eyes (EMT experience and all) have you had a recent head injury? how often are you taking imitrex, and how certain is the dx of pseudo tumour cerebri? as imitrex is a powerful vasoconstrictor it can cause some hemorraeging from any blood vessel you can think of.

Thank you for the response. This isn't bleeding from the eyes or ears...think further down and to the back.

No, I haven't had any head injuries. I've been diagnosed with epilepsy since I was 9 years old and was diagnosed with pseudo tumor cerebri 7 years ago. I have the severe headaches that are associated with that...some where I go blind for periods of time...some where I can't feel my arms and legs, I can't walk, etc.
