Bruising Easily with EDS: Seeking Advice

Does anyone else experience bruising very easily as their main symptom along with hypermobility? Is there supplements that help the bruising? People are starting to think I am a victim of domestic abuse but I am simply a victim of EDS.

I’ve seen some bad bruises on the ehlers danlos subreddit. Mine is probably nowhere near as bad as yours, but I do bruise fairly easily.

I have the same issue with bruising. Every time I get a shot, an IV, or anything else that breaks my (very delicate) skin, I bruise VIOLENTLY. my poor teachers thought I was being abused at home because I went to the dentist and the entire right side of my jaw and cheek were bruised, which I did not know until someone asked if I was okay! I don't think there are supplements that help with bruising, but you might wanna ask you GP to do an iron panel because you might be anemic, which will also exacerbate the bruising
