How Do You Deal With People Overreacting To Bruises?
How Do You Deal With People Overreacting To Bruises?
I bruise extremely easy with my May-Hegglin. Many times I have no clue what even caused the bruise. I like to wear skirts, dresses and shorts, but lately I dread wearing them because of my bruises and the reaction I get from others. I know I shouldn't care, but I don't want people to think I am abused either.

My youngest daughter has problems with bruising due to her Delta Granule SPD. For years I was accused of abusing her because of the bruising. Unfortunately, the only thing that has worked with her school/work/Girl Scouts was to educate everyone important that she would interact with.
