Approx a year ago,I was woken up by my first ever nosebleed, I passed a large clot. It was horrible, yet I didn't think much of it, until a few weeks later when I developed a very painful almost vice like sensation in my leg, when out walking my dog. I had also started to feel unwell with terrible fatigue and feeling cold all the time. I went to Dr who thought I had a blood clot, D-diner resukt also high. Scans show no blood clot, yet drs at hospital talk to me about having triggered a cancer pathway protocol, due to high D-diner and absence of clot. I am continuing to have regular nosebleeds and still feeling unwell. My leg remains swollen and then other leg starts to swell. High CRP levels. Referred to Rheumatology , tested for Lupus. Haematology refused to see me , prescribed iron tablets. Symptoms continued.
I am still having fatigue and start getting unexplained bruises on the back of my legs and hands. I get referred by my GP to Oncology as she suspects I may have a form of Lymphoma. CT scans show no sign of Lymphoma. Symptoms continue,nosebleeds now increasing 2-3 daily. Still fatigue. Still bruisings. In Oct last year I was admitted to hospital for tests for severe abdominal pain. Blood tests showed high CRP yet no sign of infection. Pain was so bad I was biting down on my pillow..Pain went.
My symptoms have iremaibed the same and recentky GP rrereferred me to Haematology , doubtful that he will agree to see me. Thought I may have a bug GP phoned the following week to say that she " had not got a clue what was wrong with me..and would be helpful if Haematology would see you ", . . A week ago I received a text message from Haematology - Oncology giving me an appointment. I don't know what to think anymore.
I am glad to be able to share this.
