hi
I will go and see my physician some time soon but in the mean time maybe someone had this issue as well.
Since the surgery I have been bruising like mad.Every now and then (Its happened about 4 times now) out of the blue my whole trunk area and upper legs will be covered in petechiae (purpura).Fine little red spots that looks like little point bleeds.After about a week it starts going away.I must say it feels to me that a few days before this happens I do seem to be very tired but with the amount of exercise and running Im doing now the fatigue might just be from the exercise,how will I know anyway?
I had B12 shots until 5 months out (along with vit D shots) Now I am taking a sublingual B12 (just because I havent been to the dr again for the shot)
Have anyone had this and is it B12 deficiency that causes this?
Thanks for any helpful info.
I hate Going to the dr and try to see him only every 3 months or so when my cortizone prescription is due.
