I don't understand the ease-of-bruising aspect re: MS. It might be helpful to quit the aspirin and start taking acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) instead unless there is some medical contraindication (aspirin promotes bleeding by inhibiting clotting). I will do a bit of research about "MS and ease-of-bruising" and report back on this site. BTW, I have degrees in Microbiology and Immunochemistry. I'm NOT bragging; I just wanna bolster some credibility.
I have the exact same experience! However, my bruises aren't painful (usually), just dark in color. Does this ease-in-bruising suggest changes in micro-vascularization? Seems so. Is this a known and well-documented MS outcome or symptom? Curious. Thoughts???? (Best to you all!)
Ditto for bruising and their duration.
The question is why: Due to aging? Due to being on an immuno-suppressant DMT (Ocrevus in my case)? Could be either or both.
I do as well
