Bruises

[Mildaisy]

I’ve been having random brushing for a few weeks now. I did have quite low iron which I’ve now had the 6 injections for but strangely I feel more tired than ever. I have just counted and I have 9 bruises on my left leg, 7 on my right, one on my stomach, 3 on my left arm and 3 on my right arm. Should I see a GP or could it be due to my low iron?

I think you should get some medical help if you're getting lots of bruising without injury.

111 should be able to offer an assessment (I find online quicker) and help you make contact with a service/Healthcare professional.

@willingtolearn thanks for replying. I filled out 111 online and it said to contact my gp tomorrow.

Starting to feel a bit worried now as I’ve just weighed myself as I’ve noticed some of my clothes feeling looser. I’ve apparently lost 6lbs in 3 weeks without trying. With it being the school holidays I’ve eaten out more than usual and got back from holiday on Friday so expected the opposite to happen.

Yes - get yourself to the GP. Also - make sure you get to the bottom of why you are anemic (if you haven’t already!).
