Brusing as a symptom of Fibro

I've heard that from many with Fibro. anne www.FibroFix.com

I thought that it was just me. I wake up every morning with bruises on my thighs. I didn't have a clue as to where they were coming from but everything else bruises me so easy, maybe that it what it is from.

Yes I do, and especially my mother. We both have fibromyalgia. Before being diagnosed, my mother's doctor continually asked her if my dad had been being abusive. She just bruised at the slightest pressure of anything. I'm not nearly as bad with the bruising problem as she is. I however do tend to get anemic.

i dont know to be honest. have you done much research on the internet about this? i was at the library yesterday and noticed a couple of good books about fibro, maybe you should go and check them out.

I don't have fibro but I still wanted to answer this discussion. I get bruises a lot and very easily. I have gone to the doctor about it and he says that some people just bruise easily and not to worry about it. My legs especially, are full of bruises, to the point that I don't wear shorts or skirts. They look so ugly. I bet right now if I were to count all the bruises I have on my body, I would outnumber you. I probably have about 40 bruises right now. I clean houses for a living and I guess I must bang myself a lot although I remember banging myself. I don't have to bang myself very hard, I guess, to get a big bruise.

it is.. i am constantly bruised up on my legs from my dogs tail hitting them (shes a lab/boxer with a tail like a whip lol) it drives me crazy and when i was taken to the er for a concussion when i fell my legs were all bruised up and they kept thinking my hubby was beating on me since he took me and i fell at a freak of nature way that i some how landed on my head and they werent buying it lol
