My PTT is 37 which is just a little bit slower than the standard range...They don't know the cause yet but I bruise extremely easily and take a long time to clot when I get a scratch/cut/etc. Would light impact play be dangerous?

Ask your doctor.

I don't feel comfortable discussing such things with my doctor.

If you can't discuss such things with your doctor then don't play at all because eventually someone's gonna ask you about your marks.

I can not imagine anyone wanting to do any impact play on you until a medical doctor has said it is okay. Why would anyone wish to risk a lawsuit or being accused of a crime if that kind of play turns into something really bad?

I agree with peppermint in this regard and without sounding irresponsible in this post to you or to your partner, i would want to know do you give the same conjectures when your partner asks these ?'s of you , meaning does your partner ask you if you have discussed this with you doc and if so have you put him off in the same manner as discussing it with your doc, this doesn't just effect you in the scenario yes you may have the bruises, but its not just about you and your bruises, for example in my state if a woman has any kind of visible scarring in the form of a hand print people around here call the cops first and ask ?'s later, and the cops don't stop at you they track down your SO's as well , whether or not you speak to your doc about it or not is really important not just for you but also for your SO as its one thing to say you bruise easily its another to try and explain to the Police that it is from consensual play, having a doc that knows about it could work in your favor and your SO's, and is really the first person you should speak to in this regard cause he has the right to call it in as well

You partner should end all impact play until a doctor says it is okay, period. If your partner doesn't care if it could seriously harm you then you need to find a new partner. By the way, what does your partner say about this? Have you been open and honest with your partner about your medical condition? I can not imagine anyone who would want to to any impact ply with you until it's been cleared with a doctor.

I don't really care if some doctors have made you feel uncomfortable about your lifestyle. Search for a kink friendly doctor. People in your local community should be able to tell you which doctors they use. Until then the wisest thing to do would be to do no impact play at all.

See, I was preemptive with my doctor (and all other health care providers).
I explained up front that I was into this and asked if it would cause any problems for them (none of them ever had any issues at all).
It is a much better method than showing up with bruising.

As for your current issue, stay away from impact play until you can ask the question.

You could find information online that could be helpful for your doctor to understand or as peppermint suggested ask in your local community for suggestions to kink aware providers.

Yes impact play would be dangerous.

Have you really done your best to educate your doctor? I highly recommend doing so. As others have mentioned it's in your best interests.

I did show up with bruises to a GYN exam once but before I got undressed, told her about them and explained that it was consensual.

I had a therapist who was kink-open when we met and kink-friendly by the time we were done.

OP - are you still in New York state?

A PTT of 37 is more than just "slow". Its half the normal range (60 - 70). The APTT can be between 30 and 40.

A quick glance at WebMD (since no one believes anyone's actual medical experience) will explain just what may cause that result.

http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/partial-thromboplastin-time?page=2

I would suggest.... ok.. strongly suggest... you dont do any impact play until you speak to your doctor. There are so many complications depending on the cause of the result, including death, and no, Im not kidding here.

I realize impact play is something many people crave. But, at this point, is it worth dying for?

Yeah, some may say I am "melodramatic". Consider if someone tells you they have hemophilia. Would you wail on them with a flogger, cane or paddle?

What you have may be a clotting disorder. It needs to be revealed to any potential play partners (assuming you play with others), definitely to any primary partners, and frank discussions with your physician. The doctors have heard it all.

We dont have all your lab tests, nor your medical history. No one here can tell you exactly what you can or cant do healthwise. The smartest thing for anyone to tell you is what they have already said....

Talk to your Physician.

My doctor didn't seem concerned by it...didn't even offer a referral or any treatment or further testing (took over a year to get her to even do the basic testing just to show that there was the slowed clotting) she said if it continued or got worse, I could see a blood specialist. But I'm hoping once I get a new doctor set up here that they are better and figure out the cause. It worries me as I'm having quite a bit of bleeding from multiple places everyday. I think it might be from like low b 12 or something b/c I have really bad digestive issues.

You have been complaining that you have had bleeding issues since 2008.
What did they say then?

Your PTT is about 2 seconds off of standard norms. If you took any NSAID (advil, aspirin, naproxen sodium), you could see false results up to two and half times a normal PTT (25-35 seconds, and some labs go up to 50). I'm not giving medical advice online, but 2 seconds is not going to get the alarms going, especially on a test that, like blood pressure, can vary greatly with different factors and times.

This is nowhere near hemophilia.

If you bruise easily and this is a new effect, perhaps you should look into possible causes such as Type II Diabetes with your provider. No offense, but you are a bit on the high BMI scale judging from the photo which is a risk factor for diabetes, heart failure and other things that can significantly impact your health as you age. Otherwise, it is within normal parameters for people to bruise more easily as they get older and/or take certain medications.

I don't think you have to tell your doctor about your personal affairs; however, do you really think a CM forum is going to give you accurate medical advice? I don't think you should panic, but discussing how you can improve your health and a thorough description of your symptoms with your provider is a good idea. Doctors will often ignore someone with a constellation of symptoms, so if it's more than 3-5 things, I'd be sure to write it down before seeing your provider again. It's easy to listen to someone rant a list of symptoms and then overlook a correlation between them and conditions.

And I wouldn't put too much credence into any response on this subject--mine included.

My doctor suspects it is a side effect of my Cymbalta which I am slowly going off of right now but it will be at least another 6-8 months before I'm off it completely. But she doesn't think it's something serious...so that's good. I just wanted to get some opinions here as to if it would be dangerous.

And I don't have diabetes. My a1c is 5.3. But my insulin levels run a bit high so if I'm not careful, I will develop diabetes in the future. But for now, I'm good. Just gotta keep the carb intake low.

What about the lupus you reported you had on the boards in 2009?
Is that under control? Are you concerned that impact play might exacerbate that as well?

I don't have lupus, I have that lupus anticoagulant thing. It's different.
