I have petechiae

Preteciae occurs when the blood vessels come up to the skin and the vessels bleed under the skin. My arms are the worst affected. But, I have it all over my body. My doctor did a blood test today. She wants what's called a purple smear test. I am very scared because there are so many things this could be. If things turn out abnormal, she is going to send me to a hematologist. Thanks for reading. Just had to get this off my chest.

I'm so sorry to hear you have a health issue going on. We always think the worse then find out we worried over nothing. Same happened to my hub recently and we're waiting to hear about a bizarre health concern he had. I know it's scary and you are worried. Try not to. You're going to be fine, especially with today's modern medicine.🤗

You're so welcome. ☺️@Indy74 My hub thought he had prostate cancer but it wasn't and his leg had fluid build up and he got it sucked out. We're still waiting to hear what the pathologist says about that. We're done worrying, time to live and enjoy the little things again. I hope your test comes back with a not so serious issue that can be resolved quickly. Thank you for BA!🤗🌷❤️

Thank you sweetheart🌹@Indy74 Hes okay. I refuse to think otherwise. Lol Hes sooo done with doctors and the waiting. You know, when you have symptoms, there are a million things it could be. We all freak out and think cancer. My hub told me the whole time he felt fine. So I should have listened to him. You should too. You'll be FINE! ☺️😉🤗
