To Hopeful Girrl,
I have the exact same situation as you. Would you be interested in speaking?
Have they diagnosed you at Hopkins? I am seen in Boston.
Thanks. Kerri

Hi!
I am sorry to hear about your medical problems. If you are not on any medications like anticoagulants, blood thinners or birth control pills then this could be due to clotting disorders, low platelet count, fragile spider veins, deep vein thrombus, deficiency of Vitamin B12, folic acid, or Vit K, a liver disease or certain cancers. It could also be due to pressure urticaria. If you are on medications then you need to discuss that with your doctor.
Also varicose dermatitis should be thought of. Dopplar studies of blood vessels of leg may help diagnose this or rule it out. Take care!
The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
