I woke up this morning and instantly my right foot started getting hot and swollen BUT ust on the Pad of my right foot. No bug bite or anything weird. I get this sometimes randomly in a hand too. It’s like i touched something and it becomes itchy and inflamed for only about half hour and then it goes away.

I will notice a thumb in the winter time if I’m out shoveling. Or the bad of my right thumb or left. It almost like if I put on a sock, like I did this morning or a glove, it bothers a nerve just enough to make it itch and inflamed for a little bit.

Weird.dont know.

Sounds like the beginning of secondary Raynaud's possibly.

How about your ears?

What supplements are you on?

Hi Heather,
It happened this morning upon waking just like yesterday, but it was my left thumb and only, from the last joint to tip of finger . It swells, pulse a little, hot and then it goes away like a flare up of some sort. No pain just annoying because it swollen and kind of hard because it’s swollen, hot and red and itchy and then goes away. I’ve never had this back to back and never the my ball of my right foot. And not the same side of body.

I take digestive enzymes that’s it’s every day. Every once in a while L glutamine or chewable licorice , but not really .


These symptoms have happened in the past off and on not enough to count, but how weird it’s back to back yesterday and today.

I’m getting our of a warm bed and maybe The cold or something?

I’m on asacol Hd

Have you been checked for gout?
And blood testing lately?

Dont use the licorice.

Heather is there’s a digestive enzyme you like best? I get blood work next week.

Why no licorice?

Thanks Linda

The digestive aid I've used is Renew Life Digest or Digest More.
I do use Natural Facgors Soothe Digest more often and anytime. It helps with spasming.

My fingers used to turn red like that.....thumb, little finger, palms....etc. been happening since early 1980s. Definitely not Raynauds....but embarrassing and I ended up getting panic attacks. I had red minnie mouse hands in my perspective.....hated it and was soooo aware of it. In therapy I did biofeedback and it helped to recognise and intervene.

But I digress.....you should note when and where on your body they happen , but still talk to the doc about it.

It’s from my digestive enzyme or having it with my probiotic, but.my throat, hands, feet, head all began to ITCH day in and day out. The digestive enzyme HELPED my gut and made me regular in the A M but I can’t stand these side effects.

I will have to try a different kind maybe.

I’m glad i figured this out!!!

It became ver concerning to me.

Interesting....you should make a list of all foods you ate during that time as well.

Keep us updated.

My liver enzymes were really elevated a month ago in the ER and my MD was like I can’t believe they didn’t tell you to come see me. Maybe that’s why I have itchy skin? I had new blood work done just now will find out tomorrow, I hope thy are back down to somewhat normal.

It's an inflammatory response. My liver enzymes went bonkers in the summer of 2017, causing my whole body to itch. That went away when the levels went back to normal but was replaced with the onset of chronic hives in ~September 2017. A month later, my hardcore bloody D UC symptoms showed up, leading to a diagnosis. A cocktail of antihistamines mostly controls this and the hives these days, but sometimes I get this -- it is occasionally food-related, and other times it is just random. Sometimes this type of swelling lasts for an hour, sometimes it last for a day or two. It's a form of angioedema. The allergist and the GI think it this and the hives are probably an external manifestation of my UC, and that it will likely go away when I get into remission.

For me, I know that wheat and any sort of peppers (bell, chili, paprika, etc) set it off.

I encourage you to get copies of all your blood test results. Which enzymes are elevated is important.

Keep us updated,.
