i laughed at your " i bruise if you pretend to hit me " . my husband swears my

friends must think he beats me cause i've got so many bruises!!!! and i haven't

had ANY pred since last summer!!!!

i do notice an increase in bruising when i increase my ICS -- so i suspect this

bruising is from my regular dose of advair...a small price to pay to breath -

LOL

I too am just on hi-dose ICS, no prednisone, and bruise very easily,

just by a book edge gently brushing against my arm of had or a gentle

brush against furniture. I was also getting frequent skin tears from

trivial insults, as little as brushing a fingernail along the skin or

brushing my arm aginst a doorframe or a purse strap dropping off my

shoulder to my forearem. Some of these become quite infected.Had to

learn a new way to care for my skin from the skin care clinic -

steristrips to close wounds. This has made a big difference.

But now these pesky skin tears are pretty much out of my life since

my doc recommended taking 1000 mg vitamin c daily - it actually

works. He then had me bump up to 1000 mg twice daily to see if I

could reduce the bruising and ......voila - it works! Still get some

bruising but it's much less than before, everyone notices. At these

does mmy doctor feels comfortable that I won't have ill effects and

so far there have been non. VERY IMPORTANT to ask your own doctors if

they feel this approach might make sense for your situtation.

For skin tears use the liquid bandage not actual bandages inless it is telfa

with no adhesive. The adhesive part can make more tears. I should have thought

to mention that earlier, sorry.
