I have problems with my feet turning a purple color but circulation is fine the doctor said. Suggestions??
Raynauds Syndrome causes a bluish purple or dead white blanching of finges and toes. Sometimes it has pain accompanying it. It is caused by the tiny vessels surrounding the extremities to constrict and cause the coldness and aching. Cigarette smoke, sitting in one position too long or operating heavyily vibrating machinery can cause episodes of Raynauds. It is also seen in autoimmune disorders. I have it and found that taking 1,000 mg hawthorn a day plus extra fatty acids seem to relieve it. keep your feet warm if you start feeling them start to chill. Here is some extremely important information on Raynauds from the National Institute of Health to help you decide if this is what you have. http://www.niams.nih.gov/hi/topics/raynaud/ar125fs.
