New symptoms!!!

[JackShephard]

Ok, I started having these symptoms all in a span of two days. I've been having very itchy skin (no rash,) bad muscle and joint pain in my neck and back, unusual weight loss, loss of appetite, violent muscle spasms in my legs, and one other symptom that I would rather not mention. It involves blood. That's all I'm going to say. the only symptom that isn't new is the neck pain which has been going on for about a week or so.

I'm basically convinced that they are connected especially because they all started happening around the same tine. I haven't done anything too strenuous on my legs or back and I don't think I've been around anyone with any kind of rash. So I'm asking, do you think this could be something serious?

I plan on scheduling an appointment with a doctor fairly soon.

Not that I know what it is but of things have been getting worse -and it sounds like they have- then you need to see someone about it. Try and go to a doctor as soon as possible because if it is serious then it's better to get it early before things progress.

^ This, the symptoms of blood doesn't sound right, althought you didn't say what it was.

Well, I don't really want to say. It's kind of embarrassing. Haha doctor should know what's going on.

Is it still happening?

[Dimitri]

Hun, you need to be seen now, blood in the stool (hematochezia) can be indicative of mild to severe conditions, you need to get that appointment with your physician moved up a little closer...

Relax, I am a doctor. But I lost my degree in a volcano... (Someone PM me if they know what that's from :P)

Please don't wait to schedule yourself an appointment. Most health facilities have something called "Walk-ins" which are usually in the morning or in the evening. You should go to one because what you are experiencing are a lot of symptoms that may or may not be related. As for the blood in the stool, the most likely cause is: Hard stool. This can be cause when the fecal matter is harder than normal, but stops within the next two times of defecation.

Also, is the blood fresh? (Lighter in color) or is it dark?
