bilateral thigh burning and red, burning toes

Actually, the red painful toes is a symptom of Raynaud's, which happens with Lyme at times. This is due usually to 'thickened' blood, as Lyme increases the fibrin in the blood, and Bartonella will inflame the inside of blood vessel walls, making it harder for the blood to get to extremities. The boluoke will help this, as it helps dissolve the fibrin in your blood some, so please do take it.

In the mean time, do whatever you need to do to keep your feet warm, even using a heating pad (carefully so you don't burn them!!!), extra socks or whatever you can.

I have that burning pain across my feet toes....and before lyme....suffered from Raynaud....still do but my BMI has increased of 5% so not so much.

I am trying to respond to Dogsblood, but I don't know how to just text her.
I'm wondering if anything so far has helped with your thigh pain?
Thanks

Good Morning,
I haven't posted on this site in a long time.
I am igenix lyme indet, and positibe for babesia
My doctor has me on mepron, azithromycin, sida acuta, bolouke, as well as pinella, burbur, sarsparilla
I'm just wondering if anyone else experiences symptoms like me. Thighs actually burn and my toes will turn red, mainly, in the evenings. I am afraid the bolouke is making it worse! scared to take it.
Its awful, and I don't know how I will do this winter wearing shoes and socks.
Any advice for me?

I sort of replied to this on the other thread.

My toe burning is only on my left foot, though both feet and lower legs have poor circulation to where they stay icy cold in the Winter. My Dr. felt it.

Hair quit growing on my legs for at least a year, but dry skin brushing on my legs has brought enough back (circulation? Detox?) that hair is growing lightly again the past few months.

I've had the thigh burning, especially the tops, but a couple times this summer when I was hot otherwise, I had a large ice cold patch on the outer part of my left thigh. Very curious sensation.

I'm wearing socks at the moment. In sandals, lol. I only do that at home. I hate the bunched up feel on those left toes but at least I don't have that awful pain and burning.

For shoes, try to wear breathable athletic shoes with extra width for toes, if you can. I have those and a pair of high top moccasins to try out.

Traveler, I wonder why my Internist didn't mention Reynauld's? I'm beginning to think he doesn't really care about me and I should find someone else.

Julymorning, maybe you should ask him? Often they are so rushed that they don't pay attention to the more "minor" things - well they are minor in the doc's mind anyway.

I did. I mean I asked him about the stuffed feeling around my toes, etc., not about Reynauld's because I didn't know about it.

Anyway, I got the two word answer about the neuropathy, which I seem to have, but that's a symptom not a disease in itself. He hasn't tried finding another answer for that since my lab screenings for diabetes kept coming back good and he's finally convinced I don't smoke or hang around smokers.

Either he's not convinced and sees there is no use arguing or he has so many patients now he doesn't have time to care.
He certainly no longer has the time to connect all of my dots. He doesn't even have the time to care that he's only requesting labs twice a year now. If that. And yes, I asked about that too. "Not needed".

I didn't. In my case anyway, it was the Internist's idea. It did make sense though, even though my lifestyle doesn't lend to it, because my fingers can't regulate warmth to them either, and I have very little feeling in my fingertips, and am constantly dropping things.
