How many babies do you have now? @Rillowen

Then is that why your legs turn color? Have you had a Doppler to make sure there's no blockages?

I had the ABI. Showed good BP. Dr said that pink is a sign of..extra good blood flow to that area. I thought they were turning red because of lack of good circulation. He said no, they would turn blue, or dark.

Symptoms of Raynaud's disease include:

• Cold fingers or toes.
• Areas of skin that turn white then blue. Depending on your skin color, these color changes may be harder or easier to see.
• Numb, prickly feeling or stinging pain upon warming or easing of stress.

During an attack of Raynaud's, affected areas of the skin usually first turn pale. Next, they often change color and feel cold and numb. When the skin warms and blood flow improves, the affected areas may change color again, throb, tingle or swell.

Raynaud's most commonly affects fingers and toes. But it also can affect other areas of the body, such as nose, lips, ears and even nipples. After warming up, the return of blood flow to the area can take 15 minutes.
See your healthcare professional right away if you have a history of severe Raynaud's and get a sore or infection in one of your affected fingers or toes.
This is from the Mayo Clinic education web site. I thought it was interesting.

I suffer from that condition too. Have to be very careful not to get too hot or cold.
