Hi Vicky, strange I'm asking myself the same question. After a raft of blood tests on Monday night and 4 different areas tried for a vein, I have hardly any bruising to show for it. .Kind regards Aime xx
I have been trying to find the answer to this for a couple years. It seems many MPN patients bruise easily. I almost never get a bruise. On Monday I fell on my treadmill. It tumbled me around and I slammed hard on my hip and just above my ankle on my shin. It hurts a lot and feels bruised but there are no visible bruises, just a little knot on my shin bone. I was once hit hard by a baseball just below my eye and it left no mark. I’m fairly clumsy and many times feel like I’ve earned a good bruise but I don’t get them. One exception is when I walked into a vent hole during a contruction project and fell down to mid thigh. But even then it was very mild bruising.
I always tell my husband it’s a good thing I didn’t marry a wife beater because I would never be able to prove it!
I'm wondering the same thing. Since starting on asprin and hydroxy, I have bruised easily but recently I have noticed much less bruising. I have been wondering if my medication needs increasing.
