Hi all,

Just a query. Has anyone experienced blue toe tips? Random i know... my bf was diagnosed with RA at 38 recently and noticed his toes tips are slightly blue. Left foot more than other. He went to GP who said he didnt know what it is and to wear two socks.... great medical opinion eh? Any other experiences, advice? He is calling his Rheumy tomorrow

What? The doc didn't know that the first condition suspected would surely be Raynaud's Syndrome. I've had it all of my adult life and it affects more than my toes! My feet are permanently cold and only look normal when I get out of a lovely cosy bed in the morning. That doesn't last long. Sometimes my feet look almost dead and people have commented on it in the past. I never let anyone see them anymore as I'm sick of explaining.

Rather than me passing on my experiences and understanding of the condition I suggest you google it. Then change your doctor.

It does run in my maternal family line and most of my female relatives have it.

Thanks Tazman. Have you had any other issues with this? The doctor didnt think it was serious but told him to keep an eye on it. Its only developed since last wednesday and my bf hasnt had it before or noticed it..

Probably Raynauds.Does he have it all the time?

It does need checking as it can be something else x
