hi all ....


yeah, here we go again. .. ok, I've been having the most awful time of it latley, and it is still going on. It seems that my right leg was bothering me, with vericose veins out of NOWHERE, and OVERNIGHT, then spider veins popping up suddenly, THEN, the inner part of my right calf up around the inner part of the knee, and the inner part of the thigh (on the same RIGHT leg) keeps getting this reddish color, and then going back to a normal color! PLUS, I seem to have developed these little "bite" looking things on my RIGHT leg, about maybe 9 of them, wiht a scab, but they look so blood red! this is totally freaking me out! I can't get in touch with my GYN till TUESDAY, ..... BUT THERE'S MORE, I just got my period! IT'S ONLY BEEN 17 days! My usual is 26 days, and I'm pretty on time...sometimes it'll be 25 or 24 days, but NEVER 17 days! This must have to do with all these leg things I've been experienceing this past 3 weeks, I mean, because look, now my period is 9 days early! (RIGHT AFTER ALL THESE OTHER PROBLEMS!)_....SO , I'm HOPING that's all it is ...... HORMONAL....

ok, listen ladies....does anyone here have anything at all like this, anything EVEN SIMILAR! PLUS, I've also noticed on that same RIGHT leg, that like i said (as of tonight) it keeps turning this reddish/purplish color, alsmot like when you're really cold...but I'm not, and the leg is warm -- also, I noticed that when I just urinated (which is how I just discovered my period had come) the urine looked a little "different", hard to describe, just sort of different,....maybe a little cloudy or something, a little darker too....weird. Earlier today it was normal.

If anyone here has had any crazy weird symptoms please post it here....I'm a nervous freaking wreck, I have to take a xanax now...I mean, I've been researching this leg thing all night, and now my period ..... I keep thinkng this is something really serious here! I think I'm panicking!

Darling,

If it were me, I would have the leg checked - the purply thing would trouble me, as would the "bites." It's probably NOTHING, but it will put you at ease to hear that from a doctor! Might be worth a visit to the ER, or if you have a clinic nearby.

The period sounds more "normal" for peri - I had periods all over the darn place. Sometimes I'd go THREE days between periods! Or just bleed and bleed for 2 months. And the stress of what you're going through with concern about your leg, could have messed up your cycle, too.

The urine cloudiness, well, this can be very common, based on what you've eaten or drunk. Don't fret too much about this. Drink lots of plain water, just in case your kidneys need a good flushing out.

Mention all of these things to your doctor, but try not to panic. You're wise just to observe, and see what he/she has to say.

Hang in, and let us know what happens, okay?
