@paulabj Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Yep, having chronic medical conditions, and some medications, all contribute to the bruising. My oncologist and nephrologist both agree my bruising is a combined effort from CKD [I am on dialysis], meds, and my cancer treatment. Wearing lightweight long sleeves when it is 100 degrees outside is difficult. The other day I just said. "heck with it" and wore sleeveless shirt. And ignored the stares...

If you haven't already, take a look at the kidney and bladder support group for a lot of conversations. I am a volunteer mentor there, and can help if you have any questions? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/kidney-conditions/

@gingerw you are still here offering kind words of support and suggestions! 🥳👯👯‍♀️

You were so helpful when I was on here a couple of years ago. Probably a couple of years before that. 🙂

So great to see your work ongoing!

Thanks for all you do!
