Re: Think I have Leukimia
It really isn't leukemia and you have been checked out by doctor so try and focus on that instead of thinking the worse.

Re: Think I have Leukimia
Well it seems to be getting worse. The petichiae is still over my feet and now I’m finding more and more over my legs and random other places too. I have a bruise on my leg which is very worrying. I’ve been super paranoid about my inner eyelids being a bit white. I seem to have more spider veins on me and there’s now one on my chest. My eyes are constantly bloodshot. Had a normal blood test 3 weeks ago but I just feel it was too soon to pick stuff up. Felt like going crazy today very close to going to a and e. I’m going to ring gp tomorrow and plead for an appointment to get my bloods taken again. Very scared
Re: Think I have Leukimia
Your blood tests came back normal,I can,in my opinion tell, YOU do not have Leukaemia.
Re: Think I have Leukimia
To have so many "symptoms" you would be at a stage where something would have shown up in blood work. These things show up by surprise in routine blood tests before people are even showing symptoms, so if had got to a stage where you had all-over symptoms it would not be missed. Leukaemia is not an obscure disease, it will be on all GPs' radars, and alarm bells would ring if you were genuinely showing signs. Your blood tests show you don't have leukaemia.
What you have been doing is overanalysing your body with an anxious mind and spotting normal blemishes and imperfections you haven't noticed before. Itching is something that gets worse the more you think about it. If I type the word 'headlice', most people reading this sentence will now be itching.
Googling symptoms is the enemy of anxious people. It is the worst thing you can do. For example how would you possibly know what the insides of your eyelids look like normally for you, before you start manhandling them to have a look?
A doctor will not repeat a clear blood test just because you demand it. Instead of doing that it would be far more productive to ask to see someone about the anxiety, because this is the real illness you have. Good luck.
