Does anyone know > anything about something similar? Hi MJ - Blood behind the drum is probably caused by whatever is causing you to bleed to easily elsewhere, and not more though. There are capillaries there as elsewhere, and they're just as likely to rupture. And that's what I'm thinking this is, by the way: capillary fragility, rather than an innate disorder of the clotting system. Have you had tests such as bleeding times and clotting factor studies? What are your platelets these days? Sorry you're having to go through all this! Love, R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 - Hi: Thanks for your insights. The clotting time is quite slow. A test showed it took 24 minutes to clot when it should have taken 2-8 minutes. Fibrinogen is also low. I am wondering if this is related to gleevec, and is there any nutrient or food to eat which will increase fibrinogen. I think most at this age are trying to lower it. I'm there! I do have a catscan tomorrow, and we will see what's happening. It may just be the usual thing. Hope you are doing very well, MJ -- In , rrockef1 <rrockef1@m...> wrote: > > > Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2005 20:06:19 -0000 > > From: " dlielc " <MJHodor@a...> > > Subject: ears and such > > > > As you know, I tend to have various little hemorrhages from goes, gums, > > bone marrow tests, and so on.
