Have you had problems with easy bruising or bleeding? For example, when you go to the dentist, do your gums bleed more than is normal? Or, do you take a medication, such as coumadin, that might "thin" the blood, causing a tendency to bruise or bleed more easily?

Yes, I have had problems with easy bruising or bleeding.

No, I have not had problems with easy bruising or bleeding.
