Hi there ...

Please go and tell them to check you out more ... it could be o.k .. but my granddaughter had the same symptoms... and they kept fibbing her off with iron tablets .. for ages ...

When the bruising started , and one night was in a lot of pain .. got taken to hospital ... it was far worse then needing iron .. 

Like breast lumps .. lots are benign... but sometimes they are positive ... like all lumps need looking into .. so does unexplained bruising... don't panic, fingers crossed your fine .. but I wish we would have pushed harder , earlier .. let us know how you go ... Chrissie... x always here if you want a chat ... x

Hello!

Thanks so much for your reply! If you don't mind me asking, what was your granddaughters diagnosis? The doctors keep telling me to go on iron tablets for the past five years and I do every time but they do not work for me for some reason. They won't do anymore/further testing and weren't even concerned when I told them over the phone about the bruising. Do you think I should get a second opinion? 

thank you x

I'm scared of panicking you ... but unexplained bruising,  and no energy ... lethargy ... I will send you a friend request .. I can chat more there .. but please don't leave it .. it's the bruising that she got over her legs .. call McMillan.. ask them about symptoms ... 

I'm scared to panic you, but I'd rather you panic but it's o.k .. then leave it like we did .. I'll send you a request now ... Chrissie x

Hi sorry to bother you I have some awful purple bruises which I've never had before no energy etc and my legs seem all puffy is this serious as docs don't seem to care 

Hi ...

Please ask for the blood count and platelets and clotting factor ... just read through these messages and you are allowed to ask for the written results to look yourself ... I know they are cutting back on blood tests lately but get another Drs opinion ...

Go with your gut feeling ... be firm but polite as it's your health ... but do know there's many things it may be ... but better safe then sorry ... if only we'd known and pushed for these tests ... Chrissie x

I spoke to gp yesterday and she agreed I need bloods done and someone will contact me to arrange this but il ring back this morning and ask when il be getting them done as it's getting me worried I'm only 39. And thanks for your reply am really thinking of just going to a@e

Hi ... please let us know how it goes ... fingers crossed x
