A black and blue situation.

Am I the only only one that bruises so easily and badly that I look like someone to a pool stick to me? Why am I bruiseing like this? Hazel

Hunny, I look like a domestic abuse victim (I know, that was bad). I have bruises everywhere. I never heard of the nickel trick, but I know that if I rub a gold ring on my hand I get a deep gray mark. Dawn

Hazel, I'm having the same problem. I have always been anemic, but my PCP says that anemia is not the cause of the bruising. I haven't had my 3 month labs done yet, so I'll find out what I'm lacking then. I always thought that a lack of potassium causes bruising, but I eat a banana almost every day. yummmm, I love bananas. Kathy

I'm only bruised on my left thigh (that's where I get my insulin shots) Other than that, I haven't noticed a problem.

Hello Amber, Glad to hear your brother made it to your sisters house. That was very nice of you to pay for his hotel nights. Will keep your grandma in my prayers. Keep us posted. Everything will be just fine sweetie. We are here for you. (((((hugs Amber)))) Diana

Amber, It is okay to sit and cry when life throws incredible hard balls at you like this. Big hugs to you! Lori

Amber... huge hugs your way ... and prayers will be constantly coming from my house to yours. I'm so happy your brother made it safe (and hopefully sound)! All my best wishes to your family!! ((((((((((hugs))))))))) Myra

(((((Hugs)))))) I am glad to hear your brother is fine. I will say a prayer for your grandma and your entire family. Like Lori says when life throws these kind of curves it is okay to stop and cry. Then when your done crying take time to smell the roses. It will get better. We are all here if you need us. Love marie

Hey Amber, I am so sorry things are rough for you right now. Just get you some toilet paper girl and go cry a river full if thats what you want to do. Sometimes that does miracles. And always think like this. It could be worse for sure and at least your brother wasnt harmed worse than he was. And will have your grandmother in my thoughts.. Hugs Marge

Amber I really wish I could say something to make you feel better! I'm glad to hear your brother is safe now and getting treatment. As hard as this sounds please try to relax and take it easy on yourself. I know how it feels to want to help everyone and sometimes it's just not possible, frustrating yes but possible no. I'm gonna email ya. Hugs, Jamie
