Is this band related? Protein related? I have bruises on my upper thighs and no injury, no explanation. I get at least 60 grams of protein a day, but not much meat.

Any idea what might be behind these mystery bruises?

I have over 200 dime sized bruises all over my legs. Two more clusters of 50 bruises showed up this morning "Christmas Day". I am a bit freaked and have been trying to decide if I should go to the emergency room today. I have not been taking my vitamin, nor do I take any other vitamin/minerals. =(

Faybie ,

not sure why but that scares me.. I think you should go get it checked just to be safe.

I think it is just you may be anemic , or maybe because not taking any vitamins.. but it still has me concerned for you.

I f I were you I would get it checked immediatly .

I would definitely talk to your doctor. I'm taking two chewable multi-vitamins and biotin daily. I haven't added any additional iron, but now I'm wondering if I should. I'll be interested to hear what your doctor has to say!

I didn't go to the dr. today, because I just had blood work done at my Oncologist Dec. 13th and nothing was out of the ordinary, it does everything from platelets to vitamin K. I took two multivitamins yesterday and drank 2 glasses of OJ, plus had no carbs, all veggies and protein. My bruises were more healed today than the first one I spotted 2 weeks ago. I also took pictures. If I have new ones I will go immediately to the dr., however for now I think it is vitamin and iron deficiency. My father-in-law who is a Dr. thinks it is a vitamin C deficiency, kinda like scurvy, LOL! I knew I should be taking my vitamins but wasn't seriously doing so, now I know I shouldn't ever skip. I learned my lesson. Thanks guys for the support, I promise I won't ever skip again.
