According to this site: www.drugs.com/dosage/heparin.html it's a typical dose for DVT, which considering you have had issues with blood clots is likely just where you should be.

Nice. Last night after my dose my feet got all weird. Maybe it's because I could actually feel them!! But all of my blood vessels were sticking really far out and we're like black. My feet were red and speckly. No fun. I emailed my doctor. Any ideas?? It hasn't happened again since I took it this morning..

I'm really glad you have already reached out to your doc. I agree with Mr Mike, it's likely that it's just that your blood finally is flowing better now and is oxygenated. You've been a bit busy with your son's party and have been up and moving around likely a little extra, so the combination has them looking extra dark.

Do let us know what your doc has to say though!!

Will do! I'm thinking the red rashes I always have are maybe from having high histamine. Something to do with mast cells? Hypocomplementemia or something like that it was a doctor told me about 2 years ago... High histamine and low c3 c4
