Lukkychrm42 Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 it seems from a distance to be mostly a reddish purple, but if you look closely, it turns out there's really more of a collection of blue, purple, red, green, and yellow, and some very pale bits, too. Very blotchy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worththewords Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I go from red to a purplish color if I've been in the shower too long. I know it is time to get out when that happens or it will be lights out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmpower Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 I started a thread about "what is your pooling like?" or something like that a while back. The variations are not always in the color department.My lower legs get bigger with prolonged standing and heat, but don't change colors except for petechiae when bad. I think when my protein and sodium is lower, the fluid leaks out of the vasculature into the surrounding tissues. It isn't the ankles, like heart or kidney problems, but the whole leg.OLL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 red ,then purple.. it reminds of my patients in the hospital who are dying. Their legs look mottled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejohnsongang Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 My legs get a dark blotchy red color, but my feet turn purplish color. During my tilt table test they turned a dark purple with a definate line across the ankle like someone drew a circle around my ankle with a purple marker and colored my feet in. My cardio said that it was first time he had ever seen such a difinate line. My arms turn a light blotchy red.Nolie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
