Hello,
Thanks for providing the add on information.
Now coming to your 2 questions that you have asked
1) why when i knock myself do i get like blood blisters and bruising
This history suggests that your blood coagulation system is not working well. This thing may happen among the users of aspirin. may be you can get your prothrombin time tests and bleeding time tested. Then you should get your dose of aspirin adjusted.
2) lately some memory loss like forgetting to take my medication some mornings.
The forgetfullness that you are describing appears to be more due to difficulty in concentration which is associated with stress and depression. You seem to be upset with your illness and medications .You erectile dysfunction can also be associated with your depression. Get in touch with your psychiatrist and can consider you for cognitive behavioural therapy. That will surely help you.
Consider doing exercises and eat a healthy diet.
