Does Anyone With AS Have Excessive Bruising? I’ll Wake Up With Bruises That Weren’t There When I Went To Sleep Or During The Day W/no Injury
Yes. Most medications for inflammation cause blood thinning, as do supplements for inflammation such as Omega-3. Additional vitamin K, C, and a supplement with diosmin and hesperidin can help. I quit all nsaids, the most common culprit, because I figure if they are causing that level of seeable bruising, it's probably causing damage to the inside too...gut and brain hemorrhage risks.😬
Oh, I never knew that AS and excessive bruising are related. I get bruised very easily and most of the time, I don't even know how I got bruised, just a few weeks back, I saw a bruise in my leg but then I just ignored it. But I never thought that AS and bruise might be connected. I'll try to read more about the connection. Thank you for putting out this question.

Yes, I also awaken with bruising without any explanation….
I cannot put it down to medication as I’ve stopped everything.
I look forward to reading others experience.
Does Anyone Have Issues With Sleeping. Not From Pain Issues, But Just Falling And Staying Asleep? I’m Just Wondering If It Is AS Related.
Does Anyone Else With AS Have Pain That Seems To Ramp Up In One Area For Weeks, Even Months, Then Go To A New Area?
