Hi Cavi ,

I used to bruise a lot. However since I was diagnosed with PBC the gastro put me on vitamin K and the bruising had gotten much better. I hope this helps.

I am always knocking a part of my body ( very careless!) and unless I can get some arnica rubbed in quickly, I too come up with a bruise.

Yes. I only need a small knock to bruise. I am permanently covered in bruises.

I was told it was all part of liver disease.

Apparently you can bruise easier with PBC.

I tend to find that if I do have a bang/bump that I know I have done and I get a small bruise it seems to vanish quickly and also I never get the yellow colouring round it these days. The yellow is said to be bile.

I don't know if for myself a good thing or bad thing. I wonder if it means that my system is pretty good and that is why the PBC is prevalent despite me not really have any other symptons except the itching or if it means the opposite.

It was just such a thing that got me diagnosed.

Yes, I bruise easily - always have, though. My bruises get real big and it takes a long time for them to go away. Black, blue, green and yellow before they go away...

I am very concerned about the numerous small purple bruises that keep popping up all over my body - I think it's something to do with the steroids I have been taking for four years now for AIH/PBC but my consultant says its just me getting older - I'm 56 and feel these bruises belong on someone older than me!
