Tha k you for your response! No. Carrbolevo and azilect. Just talked to nurse and she said it is not related to pd nor my meds. So I have appointment with ,my gp doctor.

PDers get very fragile and often dry skin. If you are taking blood thinners or using scripts or supplements (like ginger or Vit.E) which act as blood thinners, that doesn’t help. Never believe the nurse or doc re side effects as many only know what the drug rep tells them and they always downplay the negatives....always look up the product and read them for yourself.

Keep your skin moisturized from the outside as a barrier, inside with fatty acids and try to get your hands on Siberian Sea Buckthorn Oil. It is incredibly good for skin repair. Read up on it and only buy the Siberian type....that is medicinal rather than salad oil.

Yes, odd looking bruises on arms occasionally, usually one or two at a time. I take Azilect and Neupro.

I bruise very easily. Currently three small strange bruises on my left upper arm and one on each side of my spine at the bra line. I do tend to bump into things, but no way I bumped my back. I take Azilect, Neupro, Rytary and vitamin E.

i also noticed 2 bruise on my arms and thigh, i donot know the reason, i am not taking ginger,i am taking small amount of muccuna and sprouted fava beans and rich diet. this may be due to extream hot summer in India at my region (desert region 30-45 degree cel.) i am not taking any allopathic medicines. (tremor in my right hand and leg). I request for any suggestion from respected group members.
