I am still here, and hope some others join in. About the bruising. I think it must be hereditary because I rarely bruise. My MIL used to get those purple blotches on her arms, and now DH is getting them. I don't even bruise if I bump myself, and I am on a 325 Aspirin and Fish Oil daily. One time I decided to up my Fish Oil and I started getting faint bruises on the backs of my hands of all place. Went back to my usual dose and that bruising stopped. I have enough other medical problems without having the bruising, too. It sounds like the bruising isn't hurting anything except for being unsightly.
