I take Madopar 125mg 4x times a day , just lately i have noticed that i seem to bruise very easily ,both my arms have quite a lot of bruises on them and some parts of my leg , it is listed as a side effect of Madopar , i am due to see my neurologist on 10th June so i will mention it to him , dont want to have to come off the Madopar as i am now settled on it and have no nausea like i had on the sinemet plus
Anyone else suffer with bruising ?
Hello Shelly
yes I get bruising on my legs and wonder where they came from but have always bruised easily. I take Madopar too. Hadn t realised it was a side effect.

I looked on the leaflet and it said it was a side effect, my arms are covered in them i have a few on my legs but not has bad as my arms
Sure it s worth mentioning to PD nurse or neuro. Would be interested to know what they say

My Gp gave me some co codamol for hip pain but if it doesnt go away ill ring up the physio and see if i can go in and see her she if she can do anything , i dont know how you remember all that lot Gus , i have trouble remembering 12 a day

Or should that be on your moobs lol ( man boobs )
could be!!
had to go pick up a sick note from gp today so while i was there i mentioned that i seem to be bruising easily , so he suggested a full blood test , he said its rare but taking levodopa can mess up your platelet count in your blood so he wants to rule that out
always something !
Your right there Gus , and the waiting room was full of people go in for the blood test and the woman taking the blood said if we lot in the waiting room hurrried ourselves up there would not be such a queue .... well pardon me for having pd im sorry i cant move very quickly 
what bugs me is your appt is at 9 o clock and there 1hr be hind already o well stop moaning gus
Hello Shelly and Gus
I have many bruises on my arms and legs caused mainly by walking into imovable objects or staggering into them is more accurate, also Mrs Fed insists on her daily arm wrestling and if you combine falling off my mobility scooter you can see how I have collected so many , also I almost met my end by transit, when stumbled and fell towards the vehicle which was only going slow at the time which gave a interesting bruise but I do generally bruise much easier now I hope this does not show up in the form of blood clots, that would be a more worrying kettle of bolts.
I am off now , may the sleep gods grant you peace until dawn
Fed
Nighty night....watch you don't bruise yourself on the hot water bottle young Fed
sleep tight
Good night Fed
