My back has been sore all day and I finally went and looked at it and it seems my rib cage is bruised. I havent done anything but laze around the house all day. It's pretty big, and pretty dark. any thoughts?

I get frequent "spontaneous bruising" mostly on my arms and legs, but occasionally on my torso. It's most likely caused by Babs or some other co-infections killing red blood cells. Take pictures and make a log book to track frequency or any patterns with ABX changes.

I got this alllllll the time when I was sick. My ND upped my vitamin B dose and used a high quality one. Went away in about two weeks and didn't come back. I ended up staying on pretty high doses of vitamin B throughout treatment and afterwards for several months. Are you taking any vitamin B's?

Also even if you've been sitting, going through what you did in the last week really could have caused some damage to tissues. :( So I hope this week you are feeling a little bit better and it is easier for you.

Thank you opugirl! I am taking a plethora of very expensive B vitamins. I've been anemic for a couple years straight, but I've never got a bruise that big!

You really think it could be just from sitting?! Whats the deal with tissue damage?

Well I meant even though you were not really moving around last week, the stuff you went through on your GI tract, severe vomiting etc. could really have caused some damage tissues. Even people in hospital beds can get bruising and bed sores.

I'm glad it sounds like you are feeling a bit better. The B vitamins should help with the bruising.

I do feel better. The headache is coming back since about an hour ago though :( I'll go in if it gets too bad.
