easy bruising

[lindy]

I have easy unexplained bruising.
It was frightening (actually still is) & now getting annoying...yesterday spotted another patch of bruise between my thumb & wrist.
Does anyone experience easy bruising & what are your personal helpful ways to get them heal quickly?

The Patient Education department at Ohio State University has a short document about avoiding bruising and bleeding when you have low platelets.

You can download it here (http://medicalcenter.osu.edu/PatientEd/Materials/PDFDocs/dis-cond/cancer/prevent.pdf) (PDF, 78K).

Neil, thanks for the info.

Now the ball of the thumb look nasty.
I will need to see the doctor in the hospital tomorrow.
