Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 I'm trying to figure out how worried I should be about this newest symptom. I suddenly developed some bruises on palms and fingers of my hands (I don't think I did anything to bring them on). Strange thing is that over the course of about 20 minutes - some of the bruises almost all but faded, while new ones appeared. I'm wondering what could cause this. Any ideas?

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Maggie I would certainly consult a doctor on this, but it might be due to dysautonomia. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Sun, 02 May 2004 05:22:09 -0000 > To: > Subject: bruises > > I'm trying to figure out how worried I should be about this newest > symptom.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 thank you. I'll check out that possibility (I had no clue and I thought it was a little freaky). Of course it's the weekend. But I did find that soaking my hands in warm water made the bruises go away.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Maggie That makes it sound even more like dysautonomia. 's daughters hands will turn completely blue and stay that way unless she puts them in warm water, but they return to blue. For her, it can last several days and then back to normal. Do ask a doc though. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Sun, 02 May 2004 11:25:08 -0000 > To: > Subject: Re: bruises > > > thank you.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Yes, that is the first firm dysautonomia confirmation we got with our daughter. Her hands turning blue were the opposite of Raynauds syndrome. Laureta Fitzgerald wrote: >Maggie > >That makes it sound even more like dysautonomia.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Could this be Raynauld's? That's pretty common with Mito. I'd check this out with the doctor. Here are a couple of links. http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-128.shtml#desc http://www.lebanonhealth.com/condi/707.htm Alice I'm trying to figure out how worried I should be about this newest symptom.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 , Did the blue that your daughter's hands turned look like bruising -- or was it more evenly distributed? There were places on the tips of my fingers which looked like someone drew on me with a blue marker. Then one of my fingers looked like it was slammed in a door and was discolored a red/bluish bruise. Is this the look of disautonomia? What type of doctor did she see to treat this?

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Maggie, It was not even but almost mottled at times as some parts were almost black. Her ears, sometimes only one, will get bright bright red at times too like someone that has been out in the cold too long, but it happens to her inside. At the same time her ears get red, her face can be deathly white. It is quite strange looking at times. We took her to a rhumatologist, but I believe others can dx too. When her neuro saw the while face and red ear, he also confirmed the dyautonomia. He said there was no doubt in his mind. I hope this helps some. Let us know what you find out from your docs. whoewe2002 wrote: >, >Did the blue that your daughter's hands turned look like bruising -- >or was it more evenly distributed?

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Alice, I just sent the mail using another e-mail address that I have. No biggy . Thanks for sending the site. I will forward it on to my daughter. She is an environmental biologist, who lives near Boston. She is out in the ice and cold all winter...hard on her Raynauld's. She, also, has exercise intolerance. My son, also, shows signs of Mito. I'm going to see Dr. Enns, at Stanford...just waiting for a call from his office to set up the appointment. I need a firm diagnosis. (I do have mega-mitochondria with extensive crystilline inclusions). My daughter is turning 30 this summer and is intending to have a baby this next year. If anything goes wrong, I want the doctors to know what I have and what to look for to help the baby. I'll be praying that nothing will be wrong with the baby. But, that's what Grandma's do...worry and pray for their little ones. Blessings, -- Re: Re: bruises , This is what I believe is going on with Maggie's daughter as what she describes sounds like Raynauld's. I don't personally have this but my daughter does.
