being on-line w/someone who mite have REAL problems, well one gets worried, AND FRUSTRATED!... It's not like one can call or anything...

Do take some time tho and read a 'stickie' I posted on page 2 about SKIN. How all your body's systems relate...probably the best part to start is to click on about the 'Diabetic Neuropathy'. While that isn't always the case, it does compare to the ways things work between damaged nerves, the lymph system, vascular system and the brain as to the plain old maintenance of self once, damaged vs. regular way of stuff working.

Between BT1 going down and other issues popping up hither and yon..I know, I for one am a trifle TESTY!?

Let's just get on with getting on and down to 'harness' as they say.

Good thoughts to all!!!!!

Hugs 'n fuzzies? - j

just glad you are okay.

Red swollen feet are common in PN. The red colour comes from blood. The feet veins need help from the leg muscles to press the blood back to the heart, and in PN we lack strength in leg muscles.
What can be done is;
Keep feet high, make pulsating contractions of leg muscles and let someone gently massage the blood in the right direction.
Heat, humidity and meds can influence the function, and of course the condition of the heart.
Besides: Greetings to all, just found this wonderful page.

Hi all
well my feet change colour they go red and purple very patchy do you think this is anything to be concerned about l have read here that most are just red. regards dianne

One of my feet has been quite good for years now, but the foot on the side most affected by my central nervous system damage has episodes of red, patchy and puffy.

I've been looking into a condition called granuloma annulare.
