Bleeding Disorder & History of Infection
Posted: 01-28-06 07:05am

Hello,

please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong forum. There are so many infections and health problems that I have gotten thoughtout the past 5 years that it is difficult to figure out where to post.

Current age is 24 and I have always had irregular periods. This involves not having a period for several months, and then having a period that lasts for weeks and sometimes months. This can sometimes involve huge clots and extensive bleeding. At one point I could not leave the house because I would bleed through my pants and had to switch pants hourly. I've seen doctors several times for this and they usualy tried to give me various versions of birth control. I now refuse to go on birth control. The last doctor wanted me to see a gynecologist, after an 8 month wait I finally got in to see one. After tests were done the results came in that I did not have anything too irregular, hormone levels were normal, but vitamins were on the low side. He also said that I would probably have a difficult time getting pregnant.


Chronic illness. Even as a kid I was always sick, they eventually had to remove my tonsils. Whenever I catch a cold or a flu half the time it converts into something worse. For example once it turned into scarlet fever & several times into pneumonia. The only thing that the doctors do is give antibiotics. Even when its just a cold I seem to need to get antibiotics as my body seems incapable of fighting the infection by itself. Once in a while I can fight the infection by myself but it's rare.

Another problem that I have had is bell's palsy. I was lucky that it went away after a month, but during that period of time half my face was paralysed. Luckily I have no long term damage from it.

Once while on a plane I had a huge red spot on my eye of which information on the internet indicates is subconjunctival hemorrhage. This was two years ago.

I've been feeling an infection of some sort come on for a few days and today saw another red spot in the white of my eye, so I have subconjunctival hemorrhage again.

A couple of other points is that I seem to get allergic flare ups and sometimes I dont know what it's from. I am also allergic to diesel fumes.

There are some minor illneseses that I have had and I am forgetting at the moment, but the point is going to the doctor seems to not help as they wont even try to diagnose what the overall problem is, surely there is an underlying cause. All they do is prescribe antibiotics. It's frustrating to say the least.

I'm wondering if I have some type of immune difiency and what is causing it.

Please dont tell me to go see a professional as that is really not an option as it has been tried. I would be appreciate of any opinions or suggestions that you may have.
