Hi all
I was wondering if there's any info on excessive bruising? I've noticed this last few months that I'm increasingly coming out in bruises, theyre mostly on legs and some on arms, they vary from a finger mark size to an egg size, Maybe they're totally unrelated to treatment or the after effects but I don't want to consult with Dr Google lol.
Thanks in advance

I was shaking when I got off, and think I may also have been whimpering. I was certainly whining a lot. Straight back to the hotel room for a large vodka!

Have you had your iron levels checked? After 8 month pro hysterectomy I found out I was very low on iron and so been on tablets since. Maybe something to get checked incase it's that.
Hi Peace
Thanks for the reply..I hadn't even thought of iron deficiency! Maybe that's also the cause of my fatigue? I have to get bloods done every 6 weeks bcoz I'm on statins for high cholesterol but I don't think they check iron levels? I'll definitely ask doc to do a full blood works next time.
Thankyou for taking the time to reply .
