I have to go to the doctor because Im turning very brown all over......From: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 20 Feb 2001 10:51:37 -0600 (CST)
well brown for me. I dont mind the tan look and always thought I was too pale. But turning brown all over for the wrong reasons may not be good. I kept asking myself for the past three months why am I turning so brown all over. I havent been out in the sun. I live in a northern climate so going out in short sleeves hasnt happened since late september. This is different from my PCOS brown stuff on neck and back of thighs. This is a general all over color change. I was trying to get the nurse to tell me oh thats nothing you dont have to come in. I even wanted to send in a picture instead. They didnt want to let me do that. I am going to feel so stupid if this is nothing. I told her I came in this year for what was only a "fatty tumor", I dont want to come across as a hypochondriac! She said, we havent seen you in months! so you arent that! I have to get 4 month checkups It used to be 6 -8 week checkups for thyroid, blood pressure and PCOS related concerns. I havent been to the doctor since Nov. Thank goodness but still I wonder if I will be shooting my bill up for something dumb. A friend on the phone a good long distance friend and two newer friends in my town told me I should go in and check this out. One got really scared. I am kind of scared too, and told my nurse I may be paranoid about this because well You all my father was Caucasian---basically Irish and by the time he died he was dark as a Filipino or darker Mexican man and it wasnt a nice shade of natural brown like other ethnic groups have. It was something far different. He died of an undiagnosed disease. (my father had calcium deposits found all over his body after he died) They had suspected everything from lupus to compliment defiency. They never diagnosed him. So thats why I am more afraid than someone would usually be. It is noticeable but not outrageously so, plus Ive changed so slowly others really havent freaked out. ONly a few have noticed. So Im hoping I am just being a hypochondriac. In a way I am worried about feeling stupid about going into the doctor for this.
