This causes what appears to be bruising around the joints (wrists, ankles, knees and hips) also around the buttocks. Sometimes a rash will appear as well. This tends to show up after some sort of respiratory infection, even if it was a mild one that didn't affect you much. The "bruising" at you joints progress just like regular bruising, but usually at a slightly faster pace, going from light looking to dark within just hours. HSP can, but not always, cause damage to the liver, so this is why you should see your doctor. My son was diagnosed with HSP when he was 6 months old. I had to go to several doctors before they could figure out what was wrong. CPS was nearly called even because of the severe "bruising". Basically, how it was explained to me, was that it is kind of an allergic reaction to the respiratory infection. It causes the capillaries near the joints to burst (bruising) and can cause rash and discomfort in the legs and joints, and even stomach upset. It can be a simple thing that passes in about a month or so, but you need to be checked just in case for liver issues. If you are disgnosed, you also have to be careful of future respiratory illness, as a 2nd round can be harder on the body. After my son's reaction, he has gone the last 4 years with no new signs, and no 2nd reaction. As for the exhaustion, have them check your iron level, if it's low, it can cause this.

Yes unexplained bruising is a sign of leukemia so you should go and get a blood test. Another disease you could have is lupus because sore and swollen joints among other things are one of the main symptoms. A fever, fatigue and rash are also other main symptoms but not all people with lupus have these symptoms. 90% of people with lupus are women. Lupus is an autoimmune disease which means something goes wrong with your immune system. It can affect all areas of the body and may cause unexplained bruising because it can affect the blood and the platelets which are the cells which cause the blood to clot. Please look at this website: http://arthritis.about.com/od/lupus/a/guidetolupus_2.htm because it has a list of the symptoms It may not be lupus just a suggestion, but you should go to a doctor so they can diagnose you properly.
