Hi everyone, I know that people will tell me to go to the doctor instead of self diagnosing, I went for a blood test yesterday and should have the results on Friday, it was just in case my blood test came back normal it would be great to hear other people's opinions on what this might be!

About three months ago I started waking up every night with horrific night sweats, so bad the mattress was soaked and it looked like it been in the shower. I know that this was during the heatwave but we kept our room cool and DH who is usually too warm at night was completely fine. The night sweats have calmed down quite a bit in the last two weeks ago because I now sleep with no clothes or covers.

I have been also experiencing very itchy skin all over and if I itch it a few hours later the itchy area becomes very bruised particularly with small round purple bruises that vary from pin prick size to the size of the tip of my finger. I've also been bruising very easily in general and am covered in bruises right now. About two months ago I was in a spin class and felt my finger starting to hurt, there had been absolutely no impact as I was gripping the handle bar and a couple of seconds after the pain part of my finger started to turn purple and bruised right before my eyes. I dont know if that is related to the current bruising but seemed odd.

I was just hoping to get a few ideas on what this Could be or if anyone has had anything similar? Many thanks.

@Spudina exactly.

@worriedaboutray the OP asked for opinions. She didn't ask for a doctor on Mumsnet. She asked for opinions and advice while she went to the doctor.
So yeah people might google. Her symptoms sound similar to what they have experienced and they want to check.

OP how are you doing now?
I hope you're ok, you must feel worried.
I really hope you updated the GP about the pain under your rib. My worry (if it were me) that if I'm bruising that much that I can see on the outside then what is bruising or bleeding is happening on the inside?

@princesjet2 sorry not rtft but my sister has behcets and urticaria vasculitis, sounds like this. Although she has many other symptoms too, the bruising/itching sounds the most familiar. Might be something to push investigating for if all else comes back negative. Good luck x
