am a 26 year old female. I just had my second child three months ago via c-section which went perfectly, however since then my health has nosedived and nobody can pinpoint why. I have always been healthy, and not much runs in my family although my mother did have cervical cancer and my grandmother had breast cancer. here's whats happened: I've had constant itching- especially on my palms, horrible pain everywhere- my joints, muscles, sometimes it feels like in my bones, and my skin hurts, burns, all sorts of sensations. I've had a very low grade fever(mid 99's to 100) now constantly for two months. I am covered in bruises that don't make sense- I am not iron deficient. I get random searing pains throughout the day. my veins are incredibly prominent, and hurt, my skin no longer resembles my skin.it's covered in bruises, red patches, red dots, eczema- none of this is terribly severe looking to anybody but me. I know this is not what my skin looks like. a few of the red dots have oozed blood.my skin also always looks slightly sunburnt even though i haven't been out in the sun at all.I have a swollen spot( nothing dramatic but still unusual) on my foot right below my ankle. I've had dizzy spells. my muscles are exhausted. I get horrible muscle and abdominal cramps, my eyes hurt and are bloodshot. I have lost 6 pounds in the last week. i am 5'4 and went from 124 to 118. i've also had a sudden increase in my blood pressure . I've always run extremely low. last week it was 130/92. all bloodwork has come back normal- lymes, thyroid, rheumatoid, all kinds of viruses, and platelet count. I had a clean head MRI and neuro exam, and a clean chest x-ray. i no onger know where the real symptoms end and my stress over all of this is causing other ones to start- but the fever pain and bruising in particular scare me, and my doctor doesn't seem in any rush to send me anywhere( although I do have a rheumatology appt in 3 weeks). I apologize for the length of this, but i'm scared, angry and frustrated and any feedback would be much appreciated.
