I Bruise Very Easily Why?

Does anyone else bruise easily, anything I can do?

I have bruised easily all my life. When I was much younger I had tests done for leukemia, etc., which all came back negative. My doctor then suggested taking at least a 1,000 mg of Vitamin C daily which seems to help. Did this just start recently or have you always bruised easily?

It started about a month ago, do you think vitamin c would help?

no idea about vitamin c, but as you get older you bruise far easier. i never used to have this problem, but in the last year, oh yes.

I know Vitamin C has helped me a lot. I can tell when I stop taking it. I take 2,000 mg a day.

I have heard that Vitamin B can help. Vit B helps to create new blood cells and fortify capilaries (the little blood vessels that break and give you a bruise.)

I had a weekend where I got a monster bruise when I normally wouldn't...I tracked it to the lack of vegetables a few days before. So far, no more bruises...

But talk to your doctor if this is a more than one time thing...it could be a medication you're on or it could indicate something new.

Good luck,
