Tired and bruising

[bestmum]

I am a bit concerned about myself. Had a bruise on my leg for a week or so it doesn't hurt but recently about 3 people said i looked tired and ill and was i ok. I foolishly looked on the internet at Leukmia and I have 2 of the symptons the bruising and tiredness but generally feel ok. Any ideas what it might be. Any help would be appreciated. TIA bestmum. sorry about the spellings.

go see your Gp you might just be a bit anaemic... highly unlikely to be anything nasty and some people just bruise easily

Go to your GP, it could be you need iron tablets. A simple blood test for anaemia.
I've a few problems myself and am refusing to look on t'interweb until I can see my GP.
Hope you get better soon xx

I agree with the above posters.

NEVER look up symptoms on the Net.

But you did ask here ealier Alba and got ordered to A&E. That's almost if not more panic inducing.

just go on the web to ask anonymous posters what they think... If a bruise really isn't clearing up, your GP would be a mroe reliable place to start.

Good luck... doesn't sound like anything much, tiredness is very common, bruising less so but not normally a big problem.

T'internet is a hypochondriacs dream.

Evian, it's neither an accident nor do I consider it an emergency :)

Appointment with GP next Tuesday.
