But I don't realize I have a bruise until I look down (or feel a tinge of pain) and am like hey! How did that get there?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bruise-easily#post-88244 Wed, 07 Mar 2012 09:40:44 +0000 mrsjyw 88244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I do. I can't donate blood and I had to have a bunch of random blood work done a few years back when I had dropped 20 pounds without changing my eating/working out habits. They blamed anemia + hyperactive thyroid.</p> <p>I don't know what it is still... I have put the weight back on, but I still bruise easily (though I've been being more careful bumping into things! :P) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bruise-easily#post-88100 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 23:19:18 +0000 MaisyMay 88100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't normally bruise easily, but I am a hard draw for blood, and once in a while I'll get a big bruise from that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bruise-easily#post-88098 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 23:17:09 +0000 sandy 88098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bruise so easily and I'm always bumping into things :)</p> <p>When I went into labor I had a big bruise on my leg and every doctor/nurse that checked on me asked me about it...I was there for 4 days due to my unplanned c-section so I got pretty tired explaining over and over again that I had the bruise prior to coming to the hospital and that I just bruise easily so I must have bumped into something at home a few days ago. I think they were just making sure that I didn't get the bruise from someone at the hospital </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bruise-easily#post-88088 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 22:54:53 +0000 mynoahbear 88088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: me too...i have permanent bruises on my legs from our bed frame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bruise-easily#post-88087 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 22:44:58 +0000 Red 88087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I get random bruises all the time. My husband asks how I got them and I have no idea. I also keloid from cuts - not a good combination. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bruise-easily#post-88086 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 22:43:01 +0000 betsyboop 88086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mynoahbear: Same, I bump into things and my legs have bruises that look pretty horrendous!<br /> Our bed frame has these sharp wooden corners, and every time I walk into one, it leaves a terrible bruise. I have one in the same place on each leg :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bruise-easily#post-88045 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:37:48 +0000 mynoahbear 88045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bruise so easily. My legs are covered with bruises from bumping into things. When I have to get blood drawn, I end up with the biggest bruises. Also, iv's leave hideous bruises. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bruise-easily#post-88041 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:33:43 +0000 chopsuey 88041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: you're one post away from being a GRAPEFRUIT!!!! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bruise-easily#post-88035 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:26:47 +0000 heffalump 88035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol! No I don't. Usually I get bruises from shots though. For the longest time I had bruises on my legs and couldn't figure out why- but it's where hubby gives me shots when I have a bad migraine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-bruise-easily#post-88034 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:26:18 +0000 cupcakemama 88034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep!
