Convinced I’ve got leukaemia ??

It all started 5months ago when I had my son

started of with a rash over my legs been tired and iv kept coming out in bruises, I had a full blood count done when I had my son was fine and iv had my bloods done at my GP all normal apart from low folic acid but I'm terrified I keep thinking the doctors have missed something I count the bruises on my body at least once a day is all I can think of can someone give me some reassurance

  • Hello D456 and a warm welcome to our forum, 

    I can understand why seeing all these bruises has made you rather anxious. It's good news though that your full blood count was fine and the bloods were all normal but you probably still feel you need some answers and a clear diagnosis or explanation as to why you keep getting these bruises. 

    If you are worried still and need some reassurance, it would perhaps be a good idea to seek a second opinion and to talk to another GP about this. You can find out how to get a second opinion on this page

    I hope you manage to get a definite diagnosis soon and that it turns out to be nothing of concern. 

    Best wishes,

  • Well at my GP it's always a different doctor I see and each one say there is no cause for concern because it would show up In the bloods, would it actually show up if it was that I just worry so much it's taken over my life

    thankyou for taking time out to reply to me means so much 

  • Hello ,

               the obvious answer is to seek a medical opinion, diabetes or an autoimmune condition can also trigger spontaneous bruising, but its expert help you need to seek,
