Hi, it's one of those bad days to me :( I've just noticed yellow bruises on my knees. On both of them one bruise. And I can't recall the situation when I hit something or anything like that. They're yellow which means they in their last stage. I wonder how's that possible that I didn't see them earlier... Maybe I didn't look there... strange. They don't hurt at all and I don't remember anything hurting during the last week. In the past I read so many bad things about bruises that come without a reason that I'm all shaking and my reflux is demonstrating it's power :weep: (probably because of that anxiety).

The only thing I can relate it to is that I was kneeling more than usual in Church on Sunday and on Wednesday (because of a holiday), on the hard floor. I don't remember any bruises because of kneeling for too long in the past, but I didn't watch my knees so carefully in the past... And I've lost a few kilos recently so I'm pretty skinny as for a man.

The second thing - I've got plenty of moles everywhere, on my face too. I don't know how did that come to my mind but I decided to check up my lymph nodes and I noticed that:

looking at this picture, I could feel my "deep cervical" lymph nodes, when I pressed that area, on both sides. Of course, my crazy brain connected it to melanoma or some other cancers. I don't know if it's normal to feel healthy lymph nodes under one's skin. I'm skinny - could that be connected. Do I feel my lymph nodes at all or maybe this is something else, a bone or so? My throat hurts a bit... maybe some kind of infection...

I'm in a really bad shape today and tired of all of this. Lemon balm isn't helping. Please, help :weep:

Bruises often appear without you being able to remember how you got them. On both knees? You must have knelt somewhere hard.

Regarding the lymph nodes I think I would be worried if one particular node felt swollen but not if I could feel both on each side.

These bruises are disturbing me. I hadn't got any for a few years and now suddenly two appeared. Now I'm looking over my whole body constantly, searching any new bruises.

In May I had some blood tests (not related to this) and everything was just perfect. Could something change that fast?

I've found another bruise on my thigh. Very small, almost unnoticable. This is definitely not from kneeling. Now I'm getting scared:shrug:

I've made an appointment to my GP on Tuesday. I hope I'll stay alive till that day...
