When you have seizures how bad are the bruises and how long does it take for them to heal?

1 Happy Birthday. 2 give me the bruises can last up to 4 weeks because of the level of medications and probably the immune system as well. Are immune system may not be as strong as person who does not take as much medication and that's my only intake on it.

yes the reason is it effects the cappilaries and over time it becomes thinner allowing blood to leak out and pool under your skin
