Sure sounds like Scurvy;a lack of Vitamin C.
This was the bane of sailors in the early days.One of the symptoms of scurvy
was the blood vessels getting so weak and thin they leaked blood.Internal
Haemorrhaging [Spell ?].There were other symptoms too,ie,teeth falling out.
Some of the ships sailing out for a year or so would lose more than half the
crews to Scurvy.
This Scurvy problem was alleviated when they started to carry fresh
Limes,lemons,etc.aboard.
I have read where England had a treaty with Portugal and their Navy ships
would stop there to load up on these limes,etc.
Using Limes was how the English became known as "Limeys"
Overcoming scurvy was said to be the reason England became so powerful.Their
Navy people were so much healthier than any of the others,formidable
fighters.
I would suggest trying mega doses of C.
