I am on almost double that of Topamax-- so I dont think it s that. My suspcion is the right away is the Diamox. Im not a Docotor, but i'd say it may have to do with your Potassium (vitiman K) levels. If depeleted can cause easy brusing. As you know , people who are on Diamox need to replace the electroylytes in their body, especially Potassium. You should be getting regular blood work to make sure that your levels are ok. I'd suggest eating a Bananna and drinking Orange juice.. as well as other Potassium rich foods, to keep it up daily.
Just a thought?
