Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Does anyone with PN [legs/feet] have problems in the shower with their feet turning first white and then blue? Is that PN, or do I also have circulation problems?

Good evening @pkh3381. Unfortunately, if your feet turn from white to blue or purple not only in the shower but also when you have certain pain levels.....I think that must be some result of neuropathy. I have SFN (small fiber neuropathy). My feet change colors even when the temperature is even and/or I have been inside all day. Sometimes I just put socks on so I don't have to look at them. And my MFR therapist always notices the color changes and asks me what I have been doing.

I think I will do a little more research and see if I can uncover a more medical explanation for you.

How long have you been dealing with PN? Do you use any topicals on your hands and feet? Do you have numbness at the same time as the color?

May you be safe, protected, and free from inner and outer harm.
Chris
