Hi Lori I Googled it, and Lupus came up, but my first thought was hyperthyroid, or some kind of estrogen problem, but I am just guessing. There are a host of other things that come to mind. This could even be a Vitamin deficiency. Heck, you could have more than one thing going on. I am very glad you are seeing a doctor., this certainly sounds serious. I am curious why did they chose an infectious disease doctor? If you are not satisfied with the treatment you receive please get second opinion. Please let us know how you are getting along. We care about you. Kaylene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I hope your doctor is not wasting any time diagnosing this. Do you take blood thinners or NSAIDS? Seems like the obvious thing to rule out as a cause for bleeding. I don't have any other thoughts right now. Any drastic weight loss is a sign of something serious if you are eating the proper amount of calories and variety of foods. Jennette >Lori wrote: >Struggled with weight my whole life.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I've cut back on anti-inflammatories because of bleeding. Glad for the weight loss that I needed, but fatigue that runs over 250 mg of Nuvigil? That is scary! Lori >Jennette wrote: I hope your doctor is not wasting any time diagnosing this.
