I was in my late 30's to early 40's. Sure noticed how Vera and Little Elvis didn't play well together, though.

May want to get that checked out!

I brought up this discussion last month. My daughter's nuerologist said bruising is common with CH. After reading the responses I got back, I think it is fairly common in some but not all and possibly from the drugs taken for CH. She is on 240 mg of verapamil. Her doctor keeps an eye on it but doesn't seem terribly concerned.

When in doubt - google or wiki what causes easy bruising. Or best yet, ask your doc. Peace, Carl

As soon as it has faded away after about a week, it comes back in new bright colors. But I don't blame it on the Verapamil (840 mg/d), rather on the Aspirin (100 mg/d, slow release).

But yes since being on Verap. I do notice small bruises every now and then, when I haven't done anything to cause them. Usually on my arms or legs. Like tiny blood vessels popped or something. Not sure if it's due to CH or verap. Who knows...

hmmmmmmm no response from Don

I would also suggest removing the duct tape from her wrists, I don't think she's going anywhere LOL

I know he'll respond to that hehehehehe

I wouldn't worry to much about it Don, give the Doc a call and he'll give you an idea of what it might be from.
