Is this a lyme symptom?

Hey all, I have a friend that has Lupus. We have alot of the same symptoms. (alot)!! however her hands and feet turn a purple blue color not all the time but it happenes alot. Its more her toes and fingers. does anyone else get this? Iam just wondering if  it could be  lyme that she may have. She tested Neg with a normal lab. but lives in a high tick area( her dog even has lyme.)  Thanks

Iam not sure what lab she used. Or if she has a copy. I dont want to ask her because she feels it is not lyme, and I dont want to push it. I have been on the lupus sit trying to learn more, so I can help her no matter what she has. I know she is taking an anti malareia drug (plaqunel) think i spelled that wromg

The people that replied to me on the lupus site said alot of them are on the same med. They said it is used alot to keep lupus at bay. But they dont know why or how it helps.

It sounds like Raynauds syndrome. It can be due to certain medicines or an underlying disease. Maybe contributed to her Lupus.

After I took steroids for my thyroid and my lyme really went crazy which led to a diagnosis after 3+ years, my hands starting turning blue in the shower every morning.  Something to do with change in temperative, Raynaud's syndrome.  So you can definitely get it with lyme.  I have been tested for lupus and do not have it. 

My hands use to do this a couple of years ago, but i was not eating anything at the time so I was told it was from that. I wonder.

It's called Raynaud's syndrome and is common with people with autoimmune illnesses such as lupus, sclerderma and others. It is also common with lyme. It happens to me on occasion.

If her dog is ever near her then she could get lyme from one of his flees.
Many are pur off as having lupus too.
A normal lab....will not pick up on lyme. And most test come back negative. Falsely so.

Not again,

It is not a proven fact yet that someone can get Lyme from a flea but it is a possibility. I think that may be how I was infected. I'm still not sure though.

Over the past 3 or 4 years I have gotten bad joint pain. Wrists, ankles, fingers, toes, etc. Sometimes swelling, sometimes not. The pain some times controls my life. I am 28 and feel much older. I've been tested for rheumatoid arthritis & lupus 2 years ago & again this year. Both times tests are negative. This whole thing is making me crazy. This is my main problem. But, I also have had fatigue issuses for over 10 years now. They tested me for sleep apnea, everything was fine. I get sick easily. I have Asthma issues & headaches. I remember getting bit by a tick when I was about 11 or so. 17 years ago? Would that make any sense? Should I push for a Lyme disease test? Do my symptoms seem right?
If any one can offer any help it would be apreciated. -- Thank you!

ok, thank you

Yes I know It means nothing. But she thinks that it is true. She was tested more than once. I tried to explain it to her, but some people just dont understand. It is sad, but I dont want to push it. Why cant people take us seriously!! it makes me mad!! My family thinks she is so sick( cause of Lupus) Then when it comes to me they say its only Lyme. Sorry to vent. it was a bad day.

     hey not again    a year ago for two years i had scary dark purple puffy toes. i watched to see if they would turn green to have them chopped off. they faded over months back to normal. one of dozens of symptoms come and gone.bye bye
