Awesome thank you so much.

sparks19 - do you get your iron levels checked regularly?

I'm sure you do...just suggest that if your doc doesn't ask the lab for it, get a ferritin done too. I just found this out last year...ferritin is the part of the red blood cell that actually GRABS the iron and uses it.

From what I remember, that means your blood can be high in iron - but your body isn't getting any if the ferritin is a tad out of whack!

Just a thought. I hope these bruise treatments help you soon!

Well I only know they tested me a lot while I was pregnant because of my history with low iron and they were surprised that my levels were so good during pregnancy.

I haven't had them tested since but I bruised a lot during pregnancy too.

So I'm not sure what's up

Same problem here!! Now that I am taking bloodthinners, it is even worse!! I use an cream which makes the bruise go away. It is called "Hirudoid". If this is not available in the US, please tell me, I can send you some!

I googled it for you: http://www.strandarcadepharmacy.asho...oid-cream.html

I will have to look around for it here and see if it's available
