Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I've always been an easy bruiser... but came to find out it was because I also used to get frequent headaches and would therefor take a LOT of asprin (In my case, excedrin) these drugs thin the blood. Do you take asprin? That may be the problem... Don't know much else, but it could be some sort of vitamin deficiency...Good luck solving!Love and Blessings Always,~RaavenStarlyet wrote: What causes constant bruising at the slightest of bumping into anything.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 My son had a bad problem with this when he was about 1 to 1 1/2. He would sit on his knees on pea gravel and get bruises through his pants! You could see the little blue marks where every piece of gravel was just about as soon as he got up and walked to the porch. It was very concerning especially in a small child, we were so afraid that people would think we beat him or something. The doctor had no suggestions, and refered us to a specialist. After reviewing our family history the specialist said that we would have to do bloodwork in order to find the problem. We eventually attributed it to a bad diet, and started eating more vegetables an what leafy greens he could eat (e.g. iron), and better quality meats.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Thank everyone for answering my questions about bruising. I am thinking I should start upping my iron more too. That may help Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
