further symptoms , worried

[Cathhunt]

hi I posted a few weeks ago about an itch all over , since then have another symptom of bruising easily plus on going bone pain. I’m awaiting some blood tests but when look at the symptoms and put them altogether it comes up with non Hodgkin lymphoma . I do feel very tired but now stressing about the possibility as also under a considerable amount of stress at present - none that can be resolved quickly , any thoughts I would be grateful

I'm sorry to read this - I can understand how worried you are.

But, as coeliac disease is an autoimmune disease, you can quite easily have another one. Many patients with autoimmune thyroid disease are coeliac, or gluten intolerant. Hypothyroid patients often have more bruising and muscle and bone pain when untreated, or poorly treated, as well as tiredness or extreme fatigue. Many symptoms actually.

Do your tests include thyroid tests? I'd seriously recommend you request FULL thyroid tests (drs often only do a TSH test which isn't much help) Ask for T4, TSH, T3 (hopefully) and thyroid antibodies to be tested. Thyroid antibody tests would show if you have an autoimmune thyroid condition.

There's a BRILLIANT forum on HealthUnlocked hosted by the charity Thyroid UK. You can ask anything there and get really helpful replies. Good luck x

Hi thank you for your reply , I don’t have coeliacs disease , I have Ankylosing spondylitis, I will check if the thyroid is being checked too , many thanks

Apologies - I'd just been reading a coeliac group post, and I thought I was still on there!

I hope you get answers soon. Drs dismiss thyroid things as not very important, hence you often don't get FULL thyroid tests. But do request them all.

I keep getting itchy skin and I easily bruises as well I have had a big bruises on my leg for over 2yrs now and still hasn't healed. I am in mental illness again at the moment I have ptsd and schizophrenia and bipolar and anxiety disorder and so stressed because I in too much sensory imput even my ear defenders the noise was totally overwhelming over my ear defenders that even though I had my ear defenders on it was really difficult to manage the noise and even smells and tastes and touched and vision and hearing and movement and balance and I memory and thinking clearly and clothes to my skin and was extreme electrocuted when I touched the lift button and the main door button it went right through me and I was badly electric went right through my skin. I went out today and I didn't know where my body was it was out from me self and I couldn't feel my legs and feel reality I have lost my purpose and identity of who I am and I don't feel me and I am traumatised by my feelings of trauma that I am experiencing at the moment and I feel so alone from the world and I feel really sad and depressed and disappointed with myself. I am being supported by my carers and professionals at the moment. Which I really appreciate them.
