Hi I have had thalassemia since birth and i have been having a lot of health problems lately. I went to the doctor because I was having swelling in my stomach and they determined that my white blood cell count was high and I also had internal bleeding somewhere but they never figured out what the cause of this was. Lately my health has gotten worse, I have been ill frequently, I have been extremely tired, have had rashes break out for no known reason, have had bloody stools, and recently been diagnosed with tonsilitis which I am now being treated for. I am worried about this and wonder if I need a second opinion because I have been feeling this way for a year now and the doctors are telling me there is nothing out of the ordinary. I also have hypothyroidism and been on medication for that. My levels have been fine and the doctors say my tiredness is not from the thyroid or anemia.
