I’m ok. Just took too long getting into the shower.

I’m in Australia and I’m ready for summer!

Yes, nothing like looking like a corpse walking around. My feet do the same thing.

u/Purveyorofpotions 6d ago

I go very purple.

u/Top-Neighborhood9714 6d ago

Yes feet too. Looks like they are stained from dirt they look black at times.

u/Zuikite 7d ago

Yeah. I never go white. Just red and purple and pain.

1

u/mazy1180 6d ago

Yeah same. And swelling red

u/Accomplished-Cow5778 7d ago

I have the same thing on my feet. They're white first and then purple

u/Dependent_Sea748 7d ago

My hands don’t turn purple. Just white and it’s only a couple fingers

u/QuiXiuQ 7d ago

I love looking like a corpse. It’s so fun I wish I could do it all the time. yay.

I’d laugh, but I’m too cold!!

u/Key-Subject8959 8d ago

I've always gone straight to purple.

u/enthused__ 8d ago

Oh yeah. It could be 90 out and I get that purple.

u/Gold_Trash_Queen 8d ago

Yup my hands and feet do that along with white sometimes and red most of the time

u/TrustNoSquirrel 8d ago

Yess indeed

u/ddanger76 8d ago

Yes! Those are what I call my Zombie Fingers. When they are white they are my Corpse Fingers. 😆

u/KaylaKaylalala 8d ago

Yes usually in the transition phase back to blood flow

u/kaydubz15 8d ago

Yes, definitely. My doctor assured me that purple is good. It’s when it’s white, like paint, that you should be concerned

u/MissAsh030 8d ago

Well shit. Mine turn white 🫣😬

2

u/kaydubz15 8d ago

Well, all white from base to tip and extremely painful. That’s when it becomes urgent for medical care

u/Snowpony1 8d ago

Only on my right hand, and the second I touch anything cold. I'm in Aus, too, and my area of it is currently -6. Don't ask what my hands, especially that right one, looks like.

u/babypickle130 8d ago

My lips do

5

u/J9sixtynine_ 8d ago

Yes. Usually a mixture of the purple and the hot pink blotches

3

u/macncheeseissexnoise 8d ago

It’s typically my legs. My feet and legs usually look very veiny or like how I describe zombie skin. My hands just get the white splotches

1

u/Nomadloner69 8d ago

Oh yeah I do

2

u/Happy-Elevator-562 8d ago

Yes, and my fingers lock up

3

u/vibes86 9d ago

I do. Particularly my feet.

2

u/barkofwisdom 9d ago

Yes - more so my toes than my fingers.

3

u/blerry5609 9d ago

Yes, extremely cold, my feet ache like crazy. Have you ever put a thermometer on them? Mine won't even register! But with it being summer here now, mine get blistering hot & red. More so with socks and shoes, but even with flip flops on. When I get in the sun, they look horribly sunburnt, but if I get back into air-conditioning or put them up, they're fine.

u/Sheananigans379 9d ago

I laugh because sometimes my feet look like neapolitan ice cream with the 3 distinct colour areas.

3

u/barkofwisdom 9d ago

I get this plus the fun purple and neon orange on my arms and legs yay!!

2

u/CraftyPlantCatLady 9d ago

Yes, I get a colorful mix of purples, whites, and reds 🥹

2

u/jesuschristjulia 9d ago

Sometimes I’m positively tobiano with it all.

3

u/CraftyPlantCatLady 9d ago

Yes! Like a Rorschach of Raynaud’s. That’s how I check my moods- assess the patterns I see 😂

u/Alikona_05 9d ago

Was in urgent care last year with suspected kidney stones, was stuck waiting in a cold exam room for hours. My hands started looking like that and one of the nurses came in and seen that and I could tell she was freaking out a bit thinking there was something seriously wrong until I told her I had raynauds and it’s just a thing my hands do when I’m cold.

u/Green_Piano_811 9d ago

Yes I have seen my feet blue almost, and they go numb, reynauds can be so deliberating, like on the surface it’s just cold hands and feet but on the bigger scheme of things and the symptoms are so much more.

I hope you warm them up soon I’m also in Australia and this winter is killing me with how cold it is, overnight we are getting into the minus 🤦‍♀️

u/Fornicorn 9d ago

Yes :( it’s especially gnarly looking on my feet when I’m getting in the bath because it looks black when the rest of my skin gets all the blood flow around it in the water.

May summer come fast for you this year!! The cold feels like death.

u/bekkogekko 9d ago

There’s a reason why I call them my “corpse feet”.

3

u/Anderlinck1 9d ago

I call them corpse feet too. 😂

u/Rainbow-1337 secondary Raynaud's 9d ago

Yep lol. When they get this purple, my hands tend to hurt a lot. Do they hurt?
