Bruises on my knees/lower legs

I have been bruising very badly for the past 9 years. I don't know why it started up all of the sudden, but at that same time is when my lung deterioration started getting worse. Which means more meds. At times I will have 20 bruises on a leg and sometimes 15 will be just between ankle and knee on one leg! Something like the dog brushing up against me will cause it. Or if my son grabs my arm to pull me into another room - I'll get a bruise from his fingers and they were hardly gripping me.

My drs have said it's prednisone and some of the other medications. They said corticosteroids that we're inhaling will contribute, too.

I know it's not anything to worry about, but it sure isn't sexy or anything, either! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">
