Yes with lyme and co the tops of my feet get really red. Blood vesselly if thats a word.

It should fade away pretty quickly. Mine last 30 mins, maybe an hour. I know an epsom foot bath makes it go away faster for me.

The tops of my feet were read at my first LLND appt. (as they usually were) = and he said I hade Veinous pooling - from POTS.

Mine are rarely red now since treatment...but I do still have other POTS symptoms.

I get POTS symptoms from time to time as well. Interesting to know there's a connection.

My hands and feet are red. When I herx they get a brighter red. I am hoping this eventually will go away.

When I stand from sitting, my heart rate rises to about 100 bpm.

that is my main symptom of POTS.

I don't know if my bp is still affected..haven't checked in a long time.

Yes, my feet get very red. It depends on which foot is painful. That is the foot that is red. Both feet are always a bit swollen. The foot that is experiencing problems/pain is the one that becomes more red and swollen. The veins on the feet are very pronounced.

When my right foot was having problems the redness extended to my knee. Now the left foot is worse than the right, and the redness on the left goes to just above the ankle. Almost looks like I am wearing an ankle high red sock.

My balance is off, too, but it does not feel at all like vertigo or dizziness. I just always feel a little off balance.

Also, both legs usually feel heavily weighted.

These symptoms move and fluctuate greatly for me. I have been experiencing significant foot pain and swelling since July of '16. For about 6 months it was primarily the right foot, for a few weeks it was both, and now it is mostly the left.

I have the same problem my feet and legs turned red, purple, and blue depending on the day. Here are two things that has greatly improved the situation for me. My feet now only turn red if I slack off doing one of these two things.

1. Boluke: if I stop taking this regularly my feet will return to turning red. think it helps clean the blood.

2. Soleus muscle exercise: this is one of the calf muscles, it pumps the blood down to the feet and back to the heart. try this exercise - sitting in a chair with your toes remaining on the floor simple raise your knee enough that your heel raises off the floor then back down (heel raise and drop motion) this is the soles muscle being used and its a blood pumper. Over time you can add a light weight on your knee while performing this exercise to strengthen this muscle. This is one of the few ways to exercise the soleus. For me this muscle had wasted completely away, and certainly contributed to poor blood circulation in feet and legs.
