Just a note that prednisone can cause bruising as well, and both Imuran AND prednisone can cause hair loss.
I agree, however, that bruising with no apparent trauma should always be checked out. Could be your blood counts are off due to the Imuran as well.
Hope you feel better soon

Are you on any blood thinning drugs? Aspirin? With that much bruising, you should contact your doctor right away. Tests they might run include a ProTime and INR to check how your blood is clotting.
I'm sorry the job is so taxing. Ten hours at a time is a lot. At least call your neuro to see if it's the MG or something else (the tired part).
Things in my life aren't the greatest right now either. Some days, I just want to give the heck up. It's such a struggle every day to do the basic things. And it isn't fun to not have money for things other than food or bills. Just commiserating.
I hope you can figure out the bruising thing. That is odd and anything new or different should be brought up right away to your doctor/internist.
Take care,
Annie
