My Husband has a bruises across his chest and arms! Lupus? Posted: 09-15-07 14:27pm
My husband just turned 33 last month. He
has been waking up with bruises across his
chest, but only one at a time then. In the
past month he now has 4 right across is
chest above his nipples and now on his arm
by his armpit. He is always tired and
isn't in good health but not bad neither.
All the bruises are there they are just
yellow now. They seem to not want to fade
away. I have been doing some research on
the internet and only thing I get is
Lupus.With these results. Can anyone
help?

Could be. My dad has lupus and bruises
like a peach. He has had some bruises on
him for years due to his low platelet
count which is from his lupus. Your hubby
probably needs to see a doc and have some
bloodwork done. Make sure they do an ANA
(anti-nuclear antibody) test which is the
marker for lupus. The bruising and lack
of energy could also be a result of any
other number of things from anemia to
clotting factor disorders to diabetes.
Good luck and I'm sure your doc will come
up with an answer for ya
