Check be for bed bugs.
Shower without soap.
eat properly.
I assume you already saw a doc if you have your blood counts. probably hygenic or keep following up with doc.
Post pics of hands or something senpai

The doctor asked me to retake the blood test to confirm.

The red marks went away. They were there for a bit this afternoon, but disappeared again.
They look kind of like the stuff on my ankle, but somewhat raised.

How does one check for bed bugs?
>>17963648
check the edging your mattress. if there are black spots on it you likely have bed bugs.

...I sleep on a black inflatable couch.
Any ideas?

latex allergy?

Unlikely.
I mention the symptoms because they're all signs of leukemia, which killed my grandfather.

The bed bugs don't necessarily have to be in the bed. They can be in any place in your room right now. In a piece of furniture close to your bed. Anything.
Search up guides on google on how to search for bed bugs. Check youtube.

Aside from the couch, there are two movable cupboards, a plastic folding table and a wooden portable desk. Doesn't strike me as fodder for bed bugs.

Well that settles that then. Make an appointment to see a doctor now if you can. If they are too busy today then try to get in to see them as soon as possible.
Regardless of what you have a doctor would be a good idea anyway to see what's going on with you. Deals with all the other issues you have.
>>17963726
doubtful that it is leukemia.
My daughter has it and if you did your doctor would have mentions increase neutrophils from your blood work. I mean there is always a chance but if you had visible red makes your counts would be obviously off with leukemia.
>>17963726
They want me to schedule an appointment after the second round of blood work comes back. I'm doing it as soon as they'll let me.

I forgot to mention the red marks during the check-up. I was more focused on my insomnia. I didn't walk in there expecting to have symptoms of cancer.
>>17963777
yeah but you mentioned they got your red blood cell count so it would have been on the same chart.
>>17963783
They ordered the tests the day of the appointment. I don't think they tested for neutrophils.
>>17963777
>Insomnia
Yeah man, it's probably bed bugs, I've had them before and the bites look just like that. They're a bitch to get rid of yourself, just call in pest control and have the room professionally treated.

My insomnia predates the issue.
