Name of a blood disorder

I wish to know that name of a blood disorder I had as a child. When I was two my mother had to take me to the hospital because my body would not stop bruising. Were my shoes and soaks and even my underwear and shorts were were now dark burses. I also started to bleed from the tear ducts in my eyes and from my bottom. I also vomited blood. My mum says that where she held my hand was bruised as well... she says no blood came out of my skin it remained under it except when it came out of my eyes and bottom. She said that doctors were talking about transplants but then one doctor did something and I started to clear up she said that you could see the colour returning to my skin in a very short time.

Hi and thanks for using the forum.

I honestly don't know what blood disorder you had, but how scary for your mom.  One suggestion I have is if you know what hospital your mom took you to, you can request the medical records.  You might have to pay a small "copying" fee, but it would be worth it to know what disorder it was.  Good Luck

Another thought would be if you knew who your pediatrician was and if that doctor was still in practice you might be able to get your medical records through them.
