Hi.
Ever since I can remember I have always had very bad circulation in my hands & feet. Even as a small child I remember crying because the pain there was so bad I couldnt move them. The blood would stop flowing & my fingers would look like raw frozen sausages !! They would be pure white going to my hands, then you could see the colour in my hands where the blood seemed to still be there.
They are still like that now (not all the time) but my feet & legs seem to be worse. Sometimes, it dont even have to be cold & I would go to stand up & could fall over because my feet & legs or leg might not be working ?
I done that again yesterday when I was in my daughters room sitting on her sofa. When I got up to go out, My right foot stayed still & I ended up on the floor ?
Has anyone out there got any ideas on this one please. (And no I havent been drinkinking when I fall over. lol)
Many thanks. Jackie x

" I would tell a doctor and let them run some blood work a RH factor blood test might give you some answers, along with all the routine test. "
