Hi Sunny,
Its good to hear from you....now about those bruises - please don't put off having them looked at. The underlying cause of it could come from a variety of things - most of them fairly benign. But you still want to know.
Keep smiling!
be well and stay in touch,
Lulu
Take care, Sunny - glad to hear you're doing okay, although the seizures still aren't cool.
Quix,
I'm doing "good". :P I'm walking much better than I was and I only wear my braces at work, I'm not using a cane at all.... although I do lose my balance on a few rare occasion.
I only have remnants of the strange thing that came and decided to change my life for a good year and then left without a name.... especially if I am tired. The only thing that I consider a problem is the ongoing seizures but I am "working" with a doctor to control them. If i remember right they are partial complex, or something similar. And I'm having one or two at least a week. I am on 200 mgs on Topamax. I am going back to the neuro ASAP to figure out if we can do more becuase this is getting a little old.... I had another one tonight when I was making cookies with my mom and i'm fighting the splitter after affect headache.
I will call the dr. tomorrow to get in about the bruises! I figured that would be the advise so the note was already on the counter to call the PCP. Grin!
Much love to all who left a msg, you are all my thoughts.... have a great holidays!

Hi, Kiddo! Good to see you. I gather you have taken a sabbatical from the medical profession?
Show the bruises to your doctor. Unprovoked bruises need to be checked out.
How are you feeling?

Hi there
I can't offer any answer to your question but just wanted to say that it's nice to see you here.
Have a good Christmas

It is so good to see you back and it doesn't matter a bit that your question isn't related to MS. It's a health question and that alone makes it relevant to us here.
With that said, is there any possibility that a med or combination of meds you are on is causing this? When we get bruises, we usually know where they come from and certainly don't get several showing up on a daily basis.
Something sounds amiss and I think your doctor would want to know about it. I know you hate going to the doctor, but maybe he/she can do a quick CBC and see what's up.
Again, it is great to see you back enjoying as good as health as you are at this point and that the job is going so well.
Hugs,
Julie
Hi i dont have any answers for you im afraid, but i would show this bruising to ur doctor. Even if there is nothing wrong at least u will have peace of mind in knowing that you asked the question, my name is Julie we have not said hello i dont think untill now but i do know that we all have some very strange things happening to us now and again and sometimes we will find someone who has the same issues going on and it some how helps us to know we are not alone. Keep well Sunny and ask the doctor about the bruising and let us know how things go for you.
Best wishes for christmas and have a wonderful time.
Hugs Julie x
