Re: help before I freak out

[Guest guest]

I got those once! The doctor shrugged them off. He said he could inject them

with cortisone but that it really wasn't worth the bother. They did make me

very, very nervous but they sort of ran their course and were gone in a couple

weeks or so, as I recall. That was a couple years ago. They never came back.

today I noticed I have several small little bumps under my skin on

the back of my hands. Not

like the rash on top of my skin but they feel hard and you can see them. Has

anyone had this

experience or know what it is? I was going to message my doctor tomorrow. He

will have 24

hours to get back to me. Should I be worried?

Thanks my friends.

Hi Chi,

I've had something that sounds similar which turned out to be

eczema. I've had several different types of eczema depending on the

weather, humidity and how often I wash my hands. Sometimes it's

itchy, sometimes it's not, sometimes it's red, sometimes it's white,

sometimes it's raised, and sometimes it's flat. In all cases, it's

never been a serious problem.

Take care,

Tracey

Thanks Tracey-

I was worried because I found something called leukemia cutis or something like

that which looked very much like what I have- little round bumps under my skin-

they feel like uncooked rice- but round like tiny pearls. I also have

something similar inside above my elbow that he saw but said- I don't think

that is anything to worry about. Being new to this game everything has the

potential to make me worry I have moved to another phase. Did have something

strange happen this am. After my shower a shooting pain in my eye and then some

redness like I was out partying. This getting old is for the birds. I'm off

work today on a furlough day- we have to take two days off a month without pay.

But I'm happy to have a job so I'm enjoying my day off.

Okay-Not going to worry anymore. I'm going out for a 5 mile walk. Training for

the Avon two day walk in September and The LLS Nike Women's 1/2 marathon in

October.

Take care CML family- we are all here for another day!!!!

I had the bumps were all over and would come and go. The ones in the scalp were

the most painful hurt to touch but thank goodness they all went away.

I mentioned it to my dr and he said hmph... LOL

these don't hurt at all. I think the only doc that I would let say hmph -would

be Dr. Druker or another CML specialist. Long before I was diagnosed my body

tried to tell me something was wrong but my blood work didn't show it. I was

tested almost weekly for for 4 months until my white cells started spiking and

I got a diagnosis. I've had a total body rash, a rash on my neck that looked

like someone pulled my skin off in strips,problems with thin skin, so much water

in my issues that my hands left an imprint like silly putty- but having lumps of

any kind when I already have cancer makes me nervous. I think I'm going to ask

them to do a biopsy - no harm no foul. I have enough on my mind without seeing

how many new bumps pop up. I have had the one near my elbow since September

-if they are normal- hallelujah but if not I need to know now.

I'll keep you posted.
