@celia16 Dear Celia, It feel exactly as you described. The lower part of my legs, halfway between my knees and ankles looks red (as though it is sunburnt) and if I touch the area it feels as though it is bruised. It was mentioned by a doctor that took care of me at Urgent Care for another reason that I have Sjogren's and Lupus so they are connective tissue diseases and that was probably related to the authimmune diseases. It was not a detailed diagnosis.

@dianedonohue, I appreciate that. I have been evaluated for Sjogrens, RA, Lupus, and Fibromyalgia multiple times and it’s always been negative. So, it’s hard to know what to rely on. I have also described these symptoms to multiple physical therapists I have seen and they have no opinion on it. Oh, I have had Type 1 diabetes for over 25 years.
