Does anyone get bruising with CFS?

yes get it all the time.. its a common symptom of ME/CFS I have a few at the moment that i have no idea where they came from. \i dont worry about it anymore.

ditto, i get them all the time too, but not as bad since i started on b12.

Hi Rose, as Littleme and Caitlin have confirmed, we do seem to bruise more easily. I too never know where most of them come from. I kept getting bruises on my arms and it took me a while to work out they are just from my partner helping me out of the car. We are like fruit and need to be handle with care lol xx

Yep. I bruise real easily. Often, I have no memory of what might have caused a bruise.

Easy bruising is a sign of EDS III which can be related to CFS. Maybe worth getting checked out?

Now you come to mention I do now and again. My husband who hasn't got M.E. gets bruises a lot in fact his hands are covered in bruises. I don't know how old you are, but he says he has been told his are age related. He is 76.

EDS ? i had cfs for few years and bruising due to little knock i down .

the wife does when blood taken does get a BIG one were they take the blood .

the gp is only a phone call away . they will run tests unsure which,

is there a family member same easy ? as could be family history ??

 

I bruise easily too, to the point where someone at my gp's office was so concerned that she asked me if i had an abusive partner, i felt bad for her cause she seemed reluctant to believe me, was very nice of her but I couldn't seem to really put her mind at rest.  I also sometimes feel so sensitive that someone can lightly prod me with their finger in the arm or leg and it's so painful I feel like they have punched me.  I was diagnosed with hypermobility syndrome once (and told I was at the very low end of the scale) but looking back I think they were just trying to give me a diagnosis to hold onto, as I have never dislocated anything in my life, I heal really quickly and my skin doesn't tear easily.  I think hypermobility and EDS are linked (or can be).  I seemed to have been diagnosed due to my general flexibility for my age, the fact I had IBS, and I apparently have a reasonably high palette in my mouth and I was double jointed to a degree when I was a child - but i find it hard to imagine that these few minor things are things causing me/cfs (excluding ibs when i say minor before anyone takes offence)

Yes, yes, yes. All the time. I have right now a lemon sized bruise on my thigh. Had it for about a week.
