I was diagnosed last month just by doing regular blood work. Prior to that, I had been diagnosed with ITP for the past 6 years. Anyway, my platelets are 20 and they have stayed that way since I was diagnosed in June. I need a SCT and they are looking for a match. My brother is a half match but if his immune system turns out to be too close to mine, we can’t use him.
So about this pain…my body feels like I’ve been working out…HARD! My hips hurt,my arms, my glutes. And I feel like I have an elephant on my chest. I’m wondering if between my last appointment and now did something go horribly wrong?! I keep having nightmares that I have hip cancer, back cancer, lung cancer and ass cancer. Lol. I don’t know, this is all new to me.
So here’s my husband’s theory…my truck is in the shop so I rented a smaller car. In comparison it is rather low to the ground and he thinks the pain I’m feeling is because I am essentially doing “squats” every time I get in and out of the car. I would agree especially since I’m overweight, but my elbows hurt too. Sometimes my hands hurt.
I’m freaked out enough…please tell me somebody else knows what I’m talking about ..??
