Thankyou so much for your reply as it gives me confidence to ask the medical people. Its very scarey as I'm a victim of ehlers danlos type 4 which affects vessels ect. I'm frightened that something ruptures and my adult children find me in a pool of blood. The thought haunts me! From what some one wrote on here you too are poorly and I will pray for you lovely lady ❤️

Cheryl, we have to be our own advocates for healthcare. You’re rightfully frightened and need your doctors to take your symptoms and conditions seriously so that you can live a full and healthy life. Doctors swear an oath as a promise to uphold the art of medicine and act in patients’ interests.
That’s all you’re asking, for them to act in your best interest to make you whole again. I hope and pray you see your doctor soon so that you can get this bleeding under control.
Write down notes about what you want to say before you make the phone call. That way you can get the serious points across when making the appointment.
You’re so sweet…thank you for being concerned about my health. My crises of leukemia and a bone marrow transplant is behind me. I’m fully recovered now and in a durable remission.
Now, make that phone call to your doctor! ☺️
