    Default My sister is sick

    My family is in crisis right now. My younger sister is sick and the doctors don't know what's the problem. Symptoms are uncommon. She has petechiae on her feet, bruising on her legs and arms, a slight fever and ulcers in her mouth. They doing a full blood workup. At first they thought it might be Lime Disease, but she has not been to any areas where she might be bit by a deer tick. Doctors say it could be lupus or leukemia. We are all trying not to worry about it until we know something definite, but I'm a worrier. She has a followup on Monday. I'm afraid of what the doctors will find.

    Won't speculate as that would make you worry for no reason. All I will say is if it is something more significant than a rash from the neighbor's pool, find out where the biggest experts are and get her there. doctors are not all equal.

    My thoughts are with you, your sister, and your family. I'm a worrier too, and know what it's like to worry about a loved one. I'll be hoping for good news after the follow up!

    Is there any chance she had an allergic reaction to something? I hope everything turns out okay for her.

    I was mistaken, she did not have a follow up today. We are waiting for doctor to call. Doctor's office is closed for the day. I hope we hear something tomorrow.

    Everyone is on edge. My sister and I had a real blowout argument on Saturday. She said something rude to my little brother and when I came to his rescue, she was rude to me. I got in her face to get her to apologize and she pushed me. We were about to start swinging, but the bf lifts me up by the waist and takes me outside. We haven't fought like that in years. I said that I was sorry and left, but I'm still pissed at her.

    Addon - My little brother is Asperger and says things that that can be taken out of context. She is under a lot of stress. She is afraid of bad news. I need to let it go and be there for her. She doesn't need this now.

    It's understandable everyone is on edge...sorry about the argument though. Thinking of you guys.

    My mom just called with the good news!!! It's not anything too serious it's erythema nodosum. What? Yeah, I never heard of it either.

    I got this from Wikipedia "(EN) is an inflammatory condition characterized by inflammation of the fat cells under the skin, resulting in tender red nodules or lumps that are usually seen on both shins. It can be caused by a variety of conditions, and typically resolves spontaneously within 3–6 weeks. It is common in young people between 12–20 years of age."

    It's not related to leukemia or lupus, thanks be to God, basically, a reaction to hormones in from meds. So she is going to stop taking meds for 2 weeks to see if symptoms go away to see if symptoms go away. If they don't will do further testing. Thanks again for everyone for sending your positive thoughts.

    HA Ha Ha!!! So was getting so fat they started it was giving her bruises. I can't wait to throw that zinger at her. That'll fix her "little wagon wheel" for making all those rude comments about my weight. To tell the truth, she like my best friend and I'm really glad she's going to be okay.

    That sounds like an illness that should have been featured on the series "House."
