bruising?? - Epilepsy Message Board

Cordy · 08-21-2003, 04:31 PM

Hi Guys-
I'm going on a ten day trip starting tomorrow, and am suddenly getting nervous.
There are bruises on my forearms that appear to be random, they are running in lines sort of along the veins (but not exactly), and seem to be growing (getting longer).
I am on Trileptal and Keppra, and I definately have started to get bruises more easily, but these ones are freaking me out. Does anyone have experience with this??
Please give me feedback ASAP. Thanks,
C
