Hi @sunnyflower sorry to hear of the health issues you are going through. I understand you have seen specialists which you have listed. My guess is perhaps with your wounds and bruises taking longer to heal has to do with the side effects of medications you are currently taking. E.g. any steroids like prednisone will slow down the healing process, any blood thinners will cause easier bruising. This is just to name a few. More specifically you may want to look at your list of medications for side effects. Wish you well.

Hello. Yes, the Prednisone is responsible for a lot of damage to my body and that's a gross understatement. Some of my other toxic medications as well. It's quite simply, a quality of life issue that I agonize over daily. I think I may have mentioned that my recent bone density scan showed my already severe osteoporosis is significantly worse. My husband and I talked to my Endocrinologist for and hour and 20 minutes last Thursday about my drug options to improve my risk of a spine, hip, wrist or other fracture. These Bisphosphonates can have severe side-effects and including severe flu-like symptoms, although rare, femur fractures and a femur tumor!!!!!! I don't know what to do! They've been wanting me to take the medication for over 4 years now. I and others are praying for direction. This is generally how my life goes. I know the Lord will be with me and comfort me whatever happens.
Take care and warmest regards, Sunnyflower 😊
