Hi Rachel,

Sorry...I put some wrong information up there...I said that the hemorrhages were specific for endocarditis...But I found that people with Lupus, APS, vasculitis can have these too...And also there's been an injury...

Also, you mentioned that your nails are dented and I remember that in the past you mentioned that you have alopecia areata...The denting and alopecia go together sometimes, so both, along with the bleeding, might be caused by one of the autoimmune processes...

Truth be told, it's better to be safe than sorry like what everyone's saying, especially if the bleeding is new...

I hope that you get some answers and relief very soon!
Nicky
