injured it, and it does not hurt. Is it possible this is related to cortisol -

either too high or too

low. It's a bit troubling to suddenly have a big bruise just out of nowhere.<<

Bruising easily is a symptoms of high cortiosl, but it would hev to be quite

high to cause this.

Bruising can be caused from other things. Having low blood calcium causes me to

bruise easily. On the few occasions when my calcium was too high, my bruises

were more red initially.

Low cortisol, low thyroid and a host of other things can cause this too. In

my case, low cortisol and low thyroid are the culprits. The bruising issue

started in me since I became severely adrenal fatigued.

This could be a lot of things, then. The only thing that has not changed in a

long time is

my armour dose. I dont' have hypoT symptoms, etiher, so, I'm going to assume

that isn't

it.

Earlier in the fall I started Isocort for my adrenals. At first it felt great,

but By the time I

tapered fully off if it, I was feeling like my cortisol was too high. the

isocort made me feel

worse instead of better - and I could swear I'm not imagining that slight

padding of fat on

the back of my neck.

Last week due to illness, holidays, travel and a cold sore that kept growing for

days, and

that tired, nauseous, achy feeling that comes when the cortisol is low. I tried

a used a very

small bit of HC cream for a couple of days. It seemed to help 'break' the

illness and cold

sore, and I haven't felt like I needed any since then, so haven't used it.

Also last week, when I went shopping on Monday I bought new vitamins. Two were

brands

I'd never used before. One was a cal-mag supplement (previously I just had

magnesium).I

hadn't heard before of the relationship between calcium and bruising, but I'm

going to

look into it further. Maybe that one was not such a good idea.

The bruise is very dark red-purple blob which 'bleeds' into the lines of the

folds in the

back of my knee.

Thanks for the information, everyone. I have some ideas now to follow up on.

Hi, iv_adb -

I have low blood calcium. Chances that you have that are very rare, unless you

drink too much alcohol. I have hypoparathyroidism. I'm sorry, I should have

explained better. They used to say to have 2/1 ratio of cal to mag, now the

thinking is 1/1. Your cal/mag supplement will probably be good for you~!

How much calcium do you take a day? It is suspected that I am

hypoparathyroid.
