@gingerw thanks! I had a prescription and letter from my old rheumatologist, who has retired. It was difficult with the Dept. of Motor Vehicles- a lot of bureaucracy. Maybe I will try again.

I have bruises all over my lower arms. Ecchymoses? They say it is senile purpura. Not sure. Interesting that you have them. My red blood cells are large and other blood tests are off for anemia. Kidney function took a dive but apparently not autoimmune. So yes mine is mild too, in the shade!

@windyshores Every car I have had, has gotten the window tint job done. I even had my husband's truck done. Of course, the tint place always tells me I shouldn't have the windows in the front [driver and passenger side] done, and their receipt even tells this, but I have it done anyways. One time when I went to court to argue a tinted window ticket, I had taken my medical books, showing my arguments. I also postured that by not allowing the tint, both the courts and law enforcement were not allowing me to live as normal a life as I could, and would reduce me to becoming a vampire, coming out only at night! I told them the window tint was not vanity, but a medical necessity. Won that case.

I have additional health issues that cause bruising due to medications. It's part of the price I pay. Long sleeves go a long way to not being so ugly looking on my arms!
