Easily Bruised, Easily Injured...

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Bridgton, ME

I've noticed that now I bruise easier than before and sometimes it doesn't take much for me to injure myself. Anyone else have this problem? Why do I feel like I've turned into a fragile China doll?

I have found that I am even clumsier than normal and bruise easily also. I also take a very long time to heal, like a diabetic would only I'm not diabetic. I just wish I could sleep!!

I bruise very easily and sometimes don't even know how i got the bruise. I also find that they take longer to go

Because our symptoms can each normally point to bigger problems I'd recommend that everyone get regular bloodwork done. Easy bruising could be a sign of anemia or a clotting disorder. That having been said, I bruise easily as well with everything being "normal". And my sensitivity to touch is sometimes unreal, like a gentle touch feels like a jab. That's been my normal for a long time and comes and goes with the rest of it.

I take longer to heal also I have noticed for a couple of years now. Me and my daughter are both clumsy and it is totally embarrassing being a pastors wife. I sprang my foot last year right after we took this church. πŸ™€πŸ˜œπŸ˜
