Please someone help...
Almost a year ago I was admitted into hospital after finding out I have ITP (low platelet count).
In the coming months I was treated and was told it may not ever come back after getting back to a safe level.
Now almost a year on, I have had 3 hospital admissions with dangerously low platelet counts, one round of rituximab treatment which has not worked and a possible diagnosis of Lupus!
Right at the very beginning I was told of the possibilies that I could have Lymphoma, however this was ruled out, unsure why as no tests had been done to rule this out (as far as I am aware)
I have had many times where my red and white blood cells have not been "normal" and have many of the symptoms of lymphoma.
fatigue
itchy skin
swelling feet
numbness In hands
red patches of skin
shortness of breath
and now this weekend I have found a lump in my groin.
I feel as though I don't get taken seriously when I raise the concerns about my condition and testing, but then a part of me is slightly worried that maybe I am a little obsessed with my health now, with all that has happened in a short space of time.
I hate to feel as though no one is listening or taking me seriously. But I also worry that maybe my anxiety is getting the better of me.
I am due to speak to the specialist next week, hoping someone may be able to give me some much needed advice or support beforehand.
sorry to rant.
thank you for reading x
