[QUOTE="xkmac3, post: 1414689, member: 6783"] Hi Everyone, Its been a long time since I've posted. I was diagnosed as type 2 with underactive Thyroid in 2008 and have been on Metformin, Levothyroxine ever since. I had my annual Diabetes check-up at the end of the last year which were fine. I also have fibromyalgia and joint hyper mobility syndrome. In January my cousin noticed I was trembling. I thought the cause was a new medication I was taking but I started having shortness breath and joint pain, which I attributed to the really cold January weather. Then I had muscle weakness, more fatigue than usual and confusion. Being stubborn by nature I convinced myself it would stop with the warmer weather. I was wrong and had a several nights of terrible pain in both arms(biceps) so I went to the GP and he wants me to have blood tests for [B]anemia or B12 deficiency[/B]. The nearest appointment is the March 28th, but they said to check back to see if there are any cancellations. I'm concerned about other symptoms. Just typing this I'm getting the pain in by biceps and wrists. I don't really have any appetite as food is bland or tastes bad and I get stomach pain when I eat and feel full really fast, even when drinking half a glass of water. Did any of you who have/had anemia have the same symptoms? I'm worried it could be Leukaemia or something as the symptoms are similar. Thanks, Kerrie [/QUOTE]
