Jeeze. I had no idea.

I don't get a lot of color change and haven't noticed any cyanosis. I do get the mottling on my palms and several colors on the originally affected hand but it's usually no a dramatic change. It isn't always indicative of pain but there is a lot of correlation.

Oddly enough I get what appear to be copper deposits just under the surface of the skin once in a while. These tend to be on the fingers of the affected hand, especially behind the second joint of the index finger. Wilson's disease has apparently been ruled out.

I've been trying to whip my nails into some kind of shape and the copper is most likely to form after a little soak in hydrogen peroxide to remove dead tissue. This copper appears as bluish threads but if they are dug out and viewed directly they are very distinct and brilliant aquamarine. Most are horseshoe shaped.

I'm still toying with the idea that there are two infections at play with one being a spirochete and the other a quorum sensing bacterium.

From a distance the skin affected by the apparent copper deposits appears blue. This is, no doubt, an entirely different phenonenon than what others are seeing.
