Bruises

[Scarlett]

I have just noticed lots of bruises down my leg. I know I haven't hurt myself, and some of them are pale and will get darker. Anyone had this before?

I get that sometimes, i get bruises without knowing how it got there and as i don't remember myself banging into something, and sometimes it doesn't hurt so you don't realise that you have one until you have a bath or something. I had a massive bruise just above my elbow, it was so massive (slightly bigger than an egg) and the funny thing was that i hadn't a clue where it came from.

Scarlett - it might me best to get these unexplained bruises checked out by your GP.

i bruise easy, and mine is due to lack of iron, but as smudge said sometimes buises can mean more serious things so get it checked.

Not meaning to be rude or personal - but how old are you.
My GP told me bruising easily is something that often happens to women during the menopause.
Along with all the other horrid symptoms!

I'm 35... Didn't think I was old enough to be menopausal but am beginning to think I might be!

Maybe a ghost attacking you.
