am I getting the correct treatment? hi, I hope someone can help me. I m at a loss with what to do with little help from my gp. when I was 6 months pregnant I was admitted to hospital with high Bp and low platelets. my count was sitting around 50. the hospital thought initially it was pre eclampsia or hellp syndrome. but other tests said this wasn t the case. My gp gave me blood tests 2 months before this and rang me to tell me there was a problem with my platelets after a month of me being in hospital already. anyway I was told it was likely to be to do with my previous kidney problems. this was a problem I had for years, periodic flue like symptoms, protein electrolytes and blood in urin without infection and I was placed in the care of a urologist who placed me on ceflexin permenantly. The hospital induced me at 32 weeks due to my platelet levels. when discharged they said I would need further investigation. This was 3 years ago, since then I have produced other symptoms but seem to be being ignored. I only have blood tests when I insist I need them, I have had about 4 since my pregnancy. last one being 4 weeks ago. all come back with low platelets. I have headaches everyday, swelling in legs and hands, bruising for no reason, bleeding for no reason, pain in legs ribs hips and under breast bone, chest pains, trigamonial naralger, muscle spasms and muscle hardness and aches in legs, hands cramping up. high Bp upto 145/120 pulse sits around 90 resting. chronic fatigue and lathargic. severe pain in entire spine, hips and legs every morning. blood tests show platelets below range alt above range reactive lypmth nodes and some others above range. I go doctors and come out feeling like I have wasted their time with no help and feel now maybe its in my head and should bother going to the doctors. this has destroyed my life, I used to be really active and lived swimming every day before work. now I can t work and struggle to even go to the local shop. people have told me I should have had my bone marrow tested and my spleen. I don t know if this is right. I feel stuck. I know its getting worse as time goes on. pls help.
