Guest guest Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Could you describe the purplish marks more completely? Without a real description it's hard to guess, but the bone aches and bleeding gums... Are the knots themselves purplish, or a combination of rash and knots? Is there more joint pain than just at the tibia where the knot (or knots?) are? Did the doctor give you a name for the knot? (look up subcutaneous skin nodules) I would persist in asking for explanations if you think she isn't feeling up to par. --- Tresa Elengold <telengold@...> wrote: > Hi!

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Get a blood test immediately. They should run a CBC, WBC with differential, sed rate, and a Chem 21, at least. If your pediatrician won't do this, you need to find another one. There are a whole bunch of different problems that could cause this, from a viral infection, anemia, allergies, to more serious issues. PLEASE don't let this slide........... _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2006 11:20 AM Subject: Re: Tresa Could you describe the purplish marks more completely?
