Hi Laurie, I did get very comprehensive blood work done a few months ago. Everything looks good.
I do have pretty regular bouts of fatigue but I know it’s from Fibromyalgia. I usually get pain that accompanies it. I’ve had Fibromyalgia for 21 years and although I’ve made improvements with mobility and pain, I still get flares of symptoms. I’m checked for other things on a yearly basis. My doctor is very thorough with bloodwork because I tend to attribute most discomfort to fibro. I was also referred to a dermatologist who did a biopsy, nothing found.
I haven’t changed any meds however I did lose quite a bit of weight last year. I cut sugar out of my diet, soda, etc. and I lost 20 lbs. I just thought about that last night. I wonder if having less fat on my arms caused my capillaries to be closer to the surface of my skin?
I’ve posted a photo from about 6 weeks ago. This is a pic of how bad it gets on my arms. They are mostly cleared up now but I have a few new bruises too. You can see why I don’t want to wear short sleeves!
