Hi All!! Hope you’re keeping safe and well.
So this morning I noticed 3 bruises on my hands. I haven’t had an injury, they don’t even hurt. Any ideas? I’m taking a small dose of herbs at the moment like 10 drops a day of houttuynia, JK, red root, and crypto.

One is between my thumb and second finger and the other 2 are near the knuckles.

Spontaneous bruising and ruptured blood vessels are very common to Lyme, Bart and Babs infections. Also many of Burhner herbs do thin the blood and may contribute to these symptoms. There are some good photos on the Maryland lyme web site. I posted a link to them a while ago, but can't locate.

Thanks tickbite, I get so anxious everytime I have a new symptom. I will try and find the link you are talking about.

Hey Cignet yes I am, I would interested to know about the herbalist as I am just going it alone at the moment.

I’m making progress then something random happens, I suffer with health anxiety so everyone a random thing happens I think the worst. The last time it was gut issues and I ended up having a colonoscopy!

One more thing, I recommend that you take a photo of each time you see a new bruise and date it like 2020 04Apr 16 - right hand, etc. This will keep your photos filed in chronological order and will be helpful to start to see annual trends and medication changes linked to your medical dairy. I stated to label my photos by calendar date like "04-16-20 - left hand" and had to go back and re-title each photo after seeing my mistake a few years later looking back trough my medical history.

Here's the link to photos:
