Do any of you have fragile skin? I know easy bruising is not unusual with CFS. What I've been getting for the last several years appears mostly on the upper side of my right arm (I'm right handed) above my wrist and up maybe 6", in that area. It's like bruising, if i barely scrape against something or bump into something I get dark red spots under the skin later and sometimes the skin seems to tear rather easily. My skin is rather dry in the same area too. When I first saw this I thot it was happening after i lifted something, like a small bag or groceries. More recently I've noticed that I'm also getting it when my arm scrapes against something no matter how lightly.
I have MCS too so not so keen to use lotions for the dry skin. A friend suggested using olive oil which I am going to try.
When looking briefly on the net I did see mentions of it with cfs/fm but had never heard of anyone else commenting about it...
TIA
