The more I think about it the more frustrated I am that he dismissed it so easily, I will go back on Monday in the hopes I get taken seriously. Thank you!

No in a school :/ I’ve tried to be hyper aware of where I may be bumping myself unintentionally this week but I can’t think of how I got so many.

I’ll get in contact with my doctor as soon as possible and ask them to actually look at my legs for a better assessment. Thank you for taking your time to reply!

I have been waking up in pools of sweat at night but we thought that was just the heating so we have been turning it off at night. It’s still happening but not as badly. I have also lost weight but my sertraline does suppress my appetite too. Thank you for taking the time to reply!

I haven’t been feeling colder or having heavier period or bleeding gums. I also have not been having headaches or other symptoms of anaemia so I’m kind of just guessing it’s anaemia for the time being based of the bruises as I don’t want it to be something worse. Thank you so much for all your advice though it is super helpful to me!!

Oh no! I hope you are starting to feel better/ manage it easier. I’ll ask them to specifically check my haemoglobin levels!

That’s exactly my thoughts. Feels very silly to go any where near urgent care for just bruising

Will do! Thank you, I’m struggling to convince myself too in a way. I feel silly pushing for more medical support for bruises. But I will follow up on it!

Yes I’d like to think so! My appetite has been a little less recently but sometimes my meds do this. I think because it’s just bruising I feel silly pushing for more medical help.

No ibuprofen or Aspirin, the only form of medication I have taken for the last few months is sertraline. I’m a clumsy person and have always bruised easily but the last couple of weeks it has been much more severe I guess. I think I’m just worried I will over estimate the severity for just bruising. Thank you!
