Today I found the first bruice on my leg.. Can't recall bouncing into anything..
I want my counts to be OK sooo badly.. but the bruice isn't predicting much good..

it's gonna be alright. I know how you feel about seeing the bruises though. Kinda a let down. I'm believing for good news for you though on Friday.
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

good luck with your doctor's appt. hopefully this is nothing and just a normal bruise like normal non-itp people get. I still get those occasionally even with normal counts. They come and go away quickly. =)

Joya everytime I bump into something I tell myself I'm going to remember it so that if a bruise shows up I'll know why. Do I ever remember - rarely! I think I should get a permanent marker and put an X on me where I bump myself and if a bruise shows up under the X then I know it is ok :)

We are going to think positive that you have a good count!

I also get unexplained bruises everytime my counts are low and it is often in places where it is really hard to just bump, but i wouldn't worry to much if it is just one bruise. If you start to get a lot of unexpained bruises, then you would have more of a reason to be concerned.

I always tell myself not to panic if it's just ONE symptom - and not several aligning to let me know my counts are low.

Normal people bruise. You could be just fine. Stressing about it isn't good for you. :P

Hang in there!
