Hi all,
Ive had a good look on this site and it seems much better than other forums because people on here dont seem to tell you your symptoms are probably cancer, hivs, etc etc. you guys on here are actually really helpful and seem to have provided a lot of support for people, so here goes......
Over the last few weeks I havent felt myself. It all started mid september with a leg pain my doc said was from running (fair enough because I was training for my first 10k) But since then its been one thing after another. I noticed while running I was getting quite bad bruising on my lower legs, then I noticed a rash type thing on my leg - the doc diagnosed it as a fungal infection and gave me cream. He said it might have been linked to the amount of working out and therefore sweating (yucky i know) that I was doing.
But while applying the cream I noticed tiny pin prick red dots on my upper and lower thighs, some in random clusters, some in circular clusters. I went to the doctor and he has taken blood for testing and Im to go back next week. He said their not related to the fungal thing)
Also, I went through a period of about a week of having diarrehoa, extreme thirst and feeling chilly, especially my hands and feet which are freezing esp at night. I went and got tested for diabetes when I was experiencing thirst but it said it wasnt that. The diarrohea has subsided and its just chills, cold hands and pin prick dots, fungal infection and also other sort of marks on my skin that kinda look like a bit whiter than my normal skin colour and theyre also sorta circluar in shape. I also can feel quite warm suddenly with slightly flushed skin. but mostly i feel cold (hands and feet are freezing).
Has anyone had similar experiences of this before? Please dont reply to tell me I have a life threatening disease as it wont help with the fact Im already so worried, because Ive made contact with the doctor and am getting my results next week, and Id rather wait till then to be told anything serious like that, but if you have any qualified or experienced insights please do let me know so I can discuss these with my doctor if the blood tests dont reveal anything. I am realli worried as I never get sick realli and I just know Ive not been myself.
