I have hard-to-find veins and used to bruise very easily, it got so bad that sometimes bruises would pop up without having touched the skin, especially on my hands and feet.

Have responded very well to vitamin K supplements (check out the thread in Alternative treatments) - blood counts are almost normal and the spontaneous bruising has stopped.

My mother has a similar tendency (although does not have MDS) so in my case I think there is a genetic factor.
