Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Interesting...thanks. I've always bruised easily, even when I wasn't taking anti-inflammatories. i'm sure for years i didn't get enough omega 3s....never knew there was a connection. good to know. thanks, sheila Aprilcupcake@... wrote: Nosebleeds can also be related to problems with coagulation. We know that hypothyroid persons tend to bruise easily too. My doc explained it too me once a long time ago. Basically, they occur more often when our omega 3 or healthy fat is too low, because the connective tissues and vein viscosity are affected, making them more fragile.
