Hello,
I have some concerns that I'm hoping someone may shed some insight on for myself. My name is Marissa, I'm a woman of nineteen and I've been experiencing some things that have unerved me a little. Over the course of the past summer, becoming more apparent this September, I've experienced a significant amount of weight loss. In April I weighed about 120-125 pounds and exercising quite regularily. In may I stopped running due to poor knees...however I started losing weight...last time I was on the scale I was about 105-110. Moreover, I've noticed bruising all over my body..arms, legs, torso, etc. In addition, there have been irregularities with my period (an increase in bleeding and duration, plus the last period I had seemed different, in odour and consistency) and bowel movements (constipation followed by diarrhoea). I wasn't too concerned, since this occured over the duration of the summer, until other people around me (family and friends) started bringing to my attention my bruising and weight loss. I went to my doctor, but he dismissed it as nothing. I really just wanted a second opinion-sometimes I find your ordinary person has more medical knowledge then doctors these days (especially my family doctor). Thank you for taking the time to read this and am looking forward to hearing what you.
