I had seven bruises pop up late last week; five on my legs and two on my arms. I don't recall banging into anything. I don't bruise all of the time, but I do get this occasional bruises that pop up. Lyme and the co-infections can mess with the blood, so bruising is a possibility or at least the bruising is a side effect of some deficiency in the body (as Gorby suggests).
I'm with Wonko on healing slow. I still have faint marks from holter monitor stickers from months ago. However, my bruises seem to be clearing up fine. Weird stuff.
one cause of 'bruising easily' can be low vitamin C - also B12 & Folic Acid.
I would say that you should mention this to your doc. - perhaps have some routine blood level checks - ie; to check for 'aneamia' etc; -[ if you haven't had these checks recently of course.]

I don't bruise easily, but when I do bruise, it's slow to heal.
I still have visible bruises on my legs from a car accident in Dec. '08!
I'm not sure if it's Lyme-related or not?
