Like Rufus2 I take Eliquis or Apixaban as it is sometimes called (also 2 for life for AF). I was not allowed to take Warfarin because of the cocktail of drugs I was already taking. I do get small bruises, but more annoying is the way my thin skin sort of pushes back and remains creased up if I catch it, which is quite often. It doesn’t uncrease (or should that be decrease?) leaving a raw bit underneath. I have however, bruise on top of my foot that I got trying a pair of shoes on, a year or two ago, which has never faded, looking like the old ink stains that my mother used to get so cross about. I think I’ll stick with bruises and forget about senile or purpurin. I shan’t worry to much about it, I’ve had regular drug tests for years because I also take Methotrexate for RH.
