Does Anyone Else Get Bad Bruising?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Since having my muscle pain, I keep bruising, it used to be stripes across me but its calmed down to just round bruises.
However they will lump a bit sometimes or stay there for two weeks straight. I have had blood tests after blood tests and all have come back normal. I was wondering if anyone else has this issue.

You might want to research Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I am waiting for a genetic apt. To confirm if this is what I have. Pain symptoms and chronic fatigue are similar to fibro. EDS is a connective tissue disorder and the body lacks collagen. Bruising, varicose veins, hypermobility, myopic, raynauds syndrome, gastrointestinal issues, tachycardia are all parts of eds and more.

YES! I've been on three different ones and they all put me into flare up. Last time was three months ago and I did my best to try to tolerate it, but I just couldn't take it.

I accidentally rubbed my eye the wrong way and gave myself a black eye. Seriously 😒 I bruise all the time and don't know where they come from. I'll be taking a shower and getting dressed to discover bruises in places I didn't think I could bruise and have no idea what happened lol.
