Almost three weeks ago now, I fainted twice. For about four weeks I have had a headache (across forehead) that changes in intensity, but remains. I feel dizzy, tired and weak, and have shortness of breath and palpitations. I bruise very easily, and have been iron deficiency anemic for about 15 years. I had bloodwork done, and I think it shows anemia...still. I have a doctor's appt tomorrow. In the past three weeks, I have developed a slightly raised pink dime sized rash on my left forearm that doesn't itch. My feet are swollen most of the time now. The cbc said that my BUN and CO2 are low. My MCH and MCV and HCT are low. HGB is normal, but on the borderline of low. RDWs are high. What does all of this mean? I feel like I am falling apart! I have had ulcerative colitis for years, and started to have a flare last week. I called the doctor and was put on a corticosteroid until I can go in. The diarrhea stopped. I also have rib pain (mostly tenderness to the touch).
