Recently, I found blue blacks on my arms and legs, and also after sitting down in the same position for a while, I can feel my legs going numb..These, are the symptoms associating with the thickening of my blood..
Hubs rushed me to the hospital to the doc to let him have a check on my blue black..twice in the same week..doc says he found no increase in my blood count but the appearance of the blue blacks and the numbness was enough to send high alert to the doc..2 blood tests this wk and it is realli killin me..no matter how many times I go for the tests, I still feel nervous whenever the nurse is about to poke me with the needle..
He started me on medication to thin the blood but not for long as it would cause other implications such as blood not able to clot..I was told to go on trial for a month and go back for another blood test. If the blue blacks and numbness does goes away during this period, i can stop the medication also..
I was also told to do light exercise so as to enable my blood to flow better and thus reducing blue blacks and numbness..Also, I muz remember to keep moving myself and do not stay in a fix position for too long...
These hopefully, will be just a passing period which will go away if I listen and follow the docs' instruction closely..doc says life is still as per usual except I will have to monitor myself more closely than plp..For now, we juz have to wait for the blood tests on the various cancer to be out and than my mind can be rested..till then, i will be on jitters once anything usual happens on me..
