Bleeding again :-(

[Guest guest]

Sorry for the whine but I'm really scared and just need to vent. I've

just had a really big bleed from my right leg again. I've been having

these weird " spurters " where for no reason my vessels burst and bleed

into both surrounding tissue/joint and most oddly externally out

through the skin too, for several months now. I've kind of gotten

used to them a little but tonight has really freaked me out. I simply

crossed my legs, felt a big pop and before I knew it there is blood

pumping everywhere from a hole in my leg.

I've finally managed to stop the bleeding with a cold compress, but I

and my bedroom now look like a scene from a horror movie. My Dad is

actually cleaning up the puddle I left in the carpet.

My leg is black and blue and throbbing as the vessel is now

ballooning up and the blood is leaking out into my calf muscle and

knee joint. I feel such a wimp complaining about this, but it hurts

so much I could just cry. I already have a small aneurysm in my wrist

as a result all the bursting and ballooning, I'm terrified the same

thing is going to happen in my leg too.

Sorry for being a real 'fraidy cat - maybe one day Santa will bring

me those brave pills I keep asking for. Thanks for listening.

Love and hugs....Jo
