feet turning purple
 

Hello,
I have already mentioned this to my doctor, but since they can feel my pulses okay on my feet, there was no remark.
Could this be the SFN?
TIA

Like blood pooling? darkish, or a pale lavender color?
does color change when you elevate legs above heart?

Thank you for your quick response.

Light lavender and it happens when I am sitting, standing, and lying.

I have not tried to elevate above my heart.

I think light lavender/bluish would be loss of blood flow then and not pooling blood..
I don't know about PN and this sx, but RSD/CRPS have skin /blood flow /color changes often...
It may be a sort of autonomic disorder response..

It could be Raynauds like symptoms. I get it in my fingers and it started right before my SFN symptoms hit. My fingertips will sometimes turn light purple.

A good read and information, I hope the link opens. I've going on 2 decades taking grape seed extract:

I just posted a link but it doesn't open...if you google:

feet turning blue etc...you will find info, sorry the link I posted wouldn't open. Some do when I post things and others don't...

I'd like you to read this, so do a search with this:

Now and then when I'm feeling more crappy, I will take higher dosing for a while...I like Muscadine Grape Seed 500mg caps and some days take at least 2.

For really chronic issues, it's recommended to take loading doses for a while to start to KNock out the issues...then a maintenance dose.

Hi,
I am sorry, but I do not understand.

Are you saying that the grape seed caps will help with the turning purple?

Thank you.

Wish I knew what was going on. Mine are turning purple too. Sometimes they are so purple they look almost grey. :eek:

I have fairly sever varicose vein disease, and my feet turn purple when I'm on my feet, or even sitting. It goes away if I elevate my legs or wear my compression stockings. Try elevating your feet to see if the blood drains out and proper color restores. That might indicate a vascular issue.

I don't know why your feet are turning purple. I have a bridge friend I've known for 6 yrs or more and ever since I've known her, her feet and lower legs and hands and arms that one can see are blue/purple. I think I asked her once WHY and don't know what she said, she may have brushed me off. So I don't go there again with her. I believe it has to be circulation. She is early 80's and still a heavy smoker. I've never approached her on grape seed ex as she would not listen or care to hear what I have to say.

Grape seed ex works on our circulation, whole body.

A friend with neuropathy and a lot of skin cancers on legs and arms and is now taking grape seed ex for a few years now is off neurontin and feeling better on grape seed ex. Her skin is not blue/purple but a lot squamish cell cancers that have been cut out/radiated etc and she is happier on grape seed ex and feels better overall. The cancers are another thing and she's pretty much stopped having them cut out...they spread more... This person has been taking statins for 30 yrs she says, and I know statins can leave one with many side effects. That's one story.

Do some research on your issues and grape seed...I love it for my overall health and it addresses so much.

BTW: Do you smoke? Are you challenged with edema?

I'm not a doctor for sure, but know so much about grape seed. What does your doctor say about the color?

bumping to clarify the color...

No edema. Never smoked. Thank you so much for responding.

The circulation thing is very scary too.
