This happens to my hands too. Grayish palms and black around knuckles and under nails. I too have ic and I sometimes notice it happens when I eat something acidic. Didn't know if it was a coincidence or not
Did you ever figure out what was wrong. I am having exact symptoms.
I have the exact same thing. It will happen in one or sometimes both of my hands. I can't figure out what triggers it. I also have hashimotos disease (hypothyroid). It tends to happen more often in the winter than other months. My hands are not cold to the touch. I went to 3 doctors, including a vascular surgeon. They have never seen it either and couldn't figure it out (Ryanuads was ruled out). It has to be soemthing effecting the periphial circulatory system (that's my guess). Anyone a smoker or former smoker with this?
Apparently no doctor has ever seen in before, but there are alot of us that its happening to! If anyone gets a good answer, please post.
Organic blackstrap molasses, organic liver, both get rid of anemia
I just started my birth control again this month and my hands also turned grey when I was on my period. All the bloodwork came back normal for me too. So weird!
My 12 year old daughter has this exact thing. It is very weird and we have no more answers than what I have seen here. She has a lot of allergies and takes Zyrtec, Flonase and occasionally Singulair. Other than that she is healthy. She did have low iron when she was much younger but we have no reason to believe she does now. That was the only possible connection I saw. She does not experience any change of sensation when her hands get like this. Just sharing to see if there are any other connections out there.
My 16 year old son has this. It has gone on recently for about two months. I do notice that when he raises a hand above his heart it goes back to normal color. The lower hand stays gray/black (especially knuckles). He does not go out in the cold. I agree it looks as if they are dead. He has autism and this makes him rub his fingers a lot. He can't tell me how his hands feel. He will shake one at times too. So I think they bother him. Drs have been no help so far. His physical therapist says to take him to a neurologist, but the appt is two months away! Has any one had any luck in what this means or what to do
I have had this for the first time twice in the last week. Not cold, no heart or circulation problems.
Argh!!! I too have new jeans on. I am hoping it is just that - gonna put them in the laundry tonight. Thank you to the person who posted that. I feel like an id**t!
