Hello, I am 46 years old with
fibromyalgia. I am having some serious
problems with bruising? I am not sure
where this is supposed to be posted.
Whenever I use my arms/hands i.e. chopping
food/veggies, nothing strenuous, I end up
with black and blue marks from the top of
my wrists to about an inch below my elbow
on both arms. They have not been hit,
bumped or crushed. If I basically do
nothing for a few days they go away, but
as soon as I do anything even just
replanting a plant, the bruises appear.
Any thoughts?

Thank you, It is getting worse, I am going
to call the doc on monday and see what he
says, I have not been on any new meds,
nothing in my routine has changed. and
today it was worse with just sweeping the
floor. I bumped my arm today, it bled
only for aminute and then clotted really
quick. did not even run down my arm or
anything.

thanks, I did talk to my aunt today, she
has a condition where they have to take a
pint of blood every three weeks, because
she has too much iron, but she said she
did not have any symptoms and the only
reason she bruises is she is on Coumadin
and she is a diabetic. (she is in her
early 70's)

perhaps this is a genetic condition. i
think that if you try to limit your iron
perhaps it will be ok---but if its from
buildup in your system i dont think that
would help.---you arent on coumadin so i
dont think that is your problem. do get in
to the doctors. the sooner you find out
what it is the sooner you can treat it and
be better ok?
