Thanks, Amanda Louise! You brought up a couple of things that might be connected to my bruising. For one thing, my doctor told me I was deficient in vitamin B-12 and had enlarged red blood cells, so she put me on a high dose of Vitamins B-6 and B-12 daily. Also, I am within a year or two of menopause. So this may very well be the reason for the bruises. I have to admit also that I am very unaware of my physical surroundings, including even when I bump into things. My t and my husband have been trying to help me with my awareness issue. I've had that problem since I was very young.
