Bruises..
Permalink Closed

I bruise WAY too easily. Now that the weather is nicer, I want to start wearing my skirts but my legs are always soo banged up. I mean covered in bruises.. all the time. I bump my leg with my purse and get a bruise. It's ridiculous.


What does this mean? Is there anything I can do to make me less sensitive?


TIA!

you should get a blood test... you may be anemic or have a vitamin deficiency. i'd def. get it checked out...

I agree with Mara that it sounds like a vitamin deficiency.  I'm assuming you don't take a daily multivitamin?  If not, I'd start and see if it helps.  If you do, check and see if it has iron in it.  If it does, I'd see a doctor.

When I was very little the doctors said I bruised easily because I didnt have enough platelets. Now I am better but I still tend to bruise easily too. So you may want to get a blood test done just to be sure.

most commonly it's due to vitamin deficiencies (iron), it can be the other things mentioned too.  i would start by getting blood work done, and then you can go from there.

No aspirin.


Just migraine meds and BC pills.


I guess I should start taking a daily vitamin.


And I didnt always bruise easily. It's seemed to have developed in the past year or so. I don't tan anymore either.. so I think it's more noticeable since I'm a pale ghost. :(


What kind of blood test should I ask for?

Just let your doc know what's going on - they'll probably test your platelets and your iron levels to start, but they could also throw in a couple less-likely things to test for, since they're taking your blood anyway .
