    Hi Lululu

    Im sorry you have to refresh my memory as Im awful at the minute what ailment is intruding in your life oa/ra/pa etc..

    If you are on DMARDS ie methotrexate etc you may need to speak to your doctor or rheumy to get advice. I would probably ring the doc either way anyway just to get checked.

    Hope you get sorted soon

    Are they actually bruises? I have a shed load at the moment thanks to the meds and steroids, they appear even without me knocking myself on anything. If you are worried then check with your GP, he may be able to shed some light on matters. I hope they go away soon. DD

    Hi Lululululululu :grin:

    some meds CAN actually make you bruise

    I had urticaria vacslitis(sp) once and that made me bruiesd too

    BUT wise always to get checked out in this sort of case. If you dont want to visit the doc you could always ring NHS direct???

    Love

    Thanks Toni.

    Got so much going on at the moment I feel I need Resident GP.
    I have been to the GP more this year than in the previous 50 put together.

    Have a good day

    me too my Gp & hospital notes have quadrupled over the last 5 years. The earlier ones were big enough with 4 pregnancies.
