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

I've just accepted! :) x

Send a little message to me .. so I can reply ..x

Ah no worries! I will do! Yes I have had sore gums recently and mouth sores. I'm 20 x

Deff tell the Dr all of that ... every thing .. even the gums ... let me know how you go hunny .. my granddaughter is 18 ... so please let me know what they say .. don't be fobbed off... I'm here every day .. but try to message me .. and it will come strait through ..

Fingers crossed hunny ...  Chrissie x

I will do for sure! Thanks so much for your help and kindness! Is your granddaughter okay now? Also did my picture of the bruises post? I can't see them for some reason. If it did was your granddaughters bruises like mine or were they different

Hi ya ..

Pictures arnt allowed on here... they take them off .. coz we have to be so carefull not to diagnose on here .. just advise .. that's why I've told you what tests to ask for ..

I've had breast cancer .. and a lump 5 times through life .. first 4 although they were the same sort of lump, were fine .. that's why I didn't need to see your pics .. you described them really well ..

My granddaughter is doing o.k .. and I'm so proud of her .. but like I said .. just write down those things I told you about .. and tell them everything .. coz it's like a jig saw .. it all adds up to get the whole picture .. 

Please keep in touch ...  Chrissie  ... x
