CPS Changes?

I had an SAH almost 12 yrs ago.  My CP started about a year after, and for the last couple of months it's been changing.  I now have a tingling sensation in my whole hand; it started as just a tingle in my fingertips whenever I exercised.  I should state that this occurs on the LT side only.
I also have an increase in bruising that takes forever to heal; the area usually stays swollen and red.  I'm also hyposensitive on the LT; get bruising without trauma - I'm fed up not knowing what could be going on.  My PCP rushed through my chart at my last visit, and blew off any questions I asked.

Hello.

I suspect you are taking Tegretol (Carbamazepine) since this is a partial epilepsy. If yes, the easy bruising is a side effect of Tegretol.
