Hi XXXXXXX
Thank you for writing.
Easy bruising is a very common complaint in patients with fibromyalgia.
It’s because of thinning of blood vessels of skin which easily breaks on even subtle injury.
Some drugs used in fibromyalgia can also precipitate bruising. Medications need to be adjusted if there is severe bruising.
Best way to avoid it is wearing protective clothing and avoiding activities which cause bruise.
Never stop any medication without talking to our doctor.
Kindly write to me if you have any other queries.
Wishing you good health.
