Seems like whenever I fall into something I break blood vessels, especially in my right forearm, which is a strange place. I am not on any blood thinners, and being as how my right arm and leg is totally numb most of the time, with the exception of an occasional muscle spazm I feel no pain but it sure looks ugly.

I bruise easily as well. My PCP told me its all the meds I'm on. Sometimes I find bruises and I don't even remember bumping into anything. It's weird. But I'm use to it now and just ignore them.

I have recently begun to bruise much easier than I used to I am wondering if it's the addition of a new med or due to progression I've the last year

I bruise very easily. Don't remember running into anything, either. I believe that it's a side effects from some of my meds.

If you were looking at me thinking I was just another lady in her mid 40's without MS, you'd think I hung out with a beater. I bruise so easily, its ridiculous. Before my beloved dog passed away, even her little 15 lb body could leave bruises on my thighs if she jumped on my lap and walked on me. Now that she's gone, no silly reason to blame other then the 'surprise disease' and all the meds we take.
