    I might also mention that any of you who take anti oxidants, fish oil, vitamin e, green tea, etc. have thinner blood and might be more inclined to bruise.

    I am so used to having random bruising and bruises on my arms and legs that I no loger pay attention. I can give myself and bruise by just scratching at some dry skin too hard.

    Ha, I totally get that. And when I do have falls I bruise BAD! I was thrown from a snowmobile in HS onto a patch of ice and had a dinner plate sized bruise on my hip for months. Another time I crashed while inline skating and had bruises all up once side of my body.

    I don't take any supplements that would thin my blood, so I think it's just me. I have fairly low BP, too.
