Hello. I have to correct my previous discussion," I think I have IDP". I am getting terms wrong frequently now. The symptoms I have are bruising on my forearms. Bleeding excessively from small cuts. Little raised up pimple like bumps also on my arms. And also extreme fatigue. I'm already dealing with numerous issues with my lumbar and cervical spine. Right shoulder pain from a botched TRSR surgery. And, last a painful left knee. I'm not going to have my knee replaced at this time. I need to know what these symptoms are first.
I did some initial research with my symptoms?, and ITP checked the boxes. I went to my primary care physician, and he ordered a CBC and other blood tests.
This is completely self diagnosed. I just plugged in my symptoms and ITP showed up.
I know that Google isn't the best diagnostic tool. ITP was the only diagnosis that fits. I have a history of auto-immune disorders, so this just ads to my list. I also have excessive bile diarrhea that Colestipol has worked wonders on. It has made life more bearable.
If anyone has anything to add about my possible blood disorder, I welcome all comments. I know I should not self diagnose, but Im wiling to bet there are more people like me out there.
Blessings.
