Just felt like doing an update post!
My last threads were about my recent development of tiny red pinprick dots(petechiae) more noticeable blue veins, and some other symptoms.
I had blood tests done and they came back normal.
Today I had a follow up appointment and the doctor showed me my results on screen, they'd never done this before. He did lots of bloods to rule out a few things.
White blood cell count was perfect, platelets perfect, liver function and kidneys normal, thyroid normal, hormone test normal, bone profile normal and full blood count.
Basically he said there's absolutely nothing wrong. He did my weight as well and although I have put on a few pounds it's still in a healthy bmi.
He said the fact that my weight hasn't fluctuated is also a good sign of health.
He said what I have is definitely petechiae, and although Google isn't lying because a few bad things can cause it, that Google is just a machine and can't see the bigger picture.
He said in a way I am asking Google for the results I get by what I put into search.
He said that since I've started this job I've felt much better which tells him a lot, he wants me to continue as I am with the confidence that I've been given the all clear from a lot of blood work.
He said there is other tests he could do but he feels there's absolutely no need and it would just increase my anxiety. He said conservative management of the petechiae is the best thing to do, he doesn't want me to body check or fuss over them, but basically if I break out in absolutely loads then obviously it's time for another visit. So really just common sense.
He's the best doctor I've seen to be honest, he actually addressed my issues and took me seriously, showed and explained my results to me and then talked about anxiety.
I feel much better than I ever have after a doctor's appointment. Onwards and upwards again X
