Wow...this sounds exactly like me.
I have bruises all over my arms and legs that I can't figure out how I got them...I've had several people comment on how awful they look.
I get spontaneous nosebleeds usually twice a week. There is no apparent cause for why, and I've just gotten used to carrying travel packs of tissues with me everywhere I go.
My gums always bleed when I brush my teeth. I hate flossing because my gums gush blood everywhere.
My period is ridiculous, enough said.
When I cut myself, it takes FOREVER for the blood to clot. I'm a first aid provider, so I know how to slow the bleeding and I've treated cuts on many people. Mine definitely take the longest to stop bleeding.
I hope this thread hasn't made me into a hypochondriac!
