I'm seeing my regular doctor next week re the borderline high cholesterol, so I'll ask her about the bruising.<br /><br />Thanks for the arnica suggestion, Squirrel; I know they use it on horses, so must be good! I, unfortunately, don't have any right now, but I do have witch hazel for some reason, and that also is apparently good for soothing bruises. Although mine was really that swollen or sore. Just pretty colours...Laurie Grassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297964722383351333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551994216062621619.post-81360978435346608492011-03-15T01:22:16.747-04:002011-03-15T01:22:16.747-04:00Holy cow!

I'm jealous, I've had bruises before from my Orencia infusions, but nothing like that sucker. <br /><br />I agree with Wren, maybe stop by Kohl's and see if they have a bruise colored top to wear the day after your next infusion. Good luck with the Actemra.<br /><br />Amazing what we put ourselves through just to feel a little bit better isn't it?Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575686459496908135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551994216062621619.post-7733378311831649592011-03-14T21:11:35.601-04:002011-03-14T21:11:35.601-04:00Wow, Laurie!
