7:41 am Debbie just reminded me to contact Judy Ozuna Certified Neuroscience RN (CNRN) @ 206-277-6614 the Nurse Practitioner we saw on Tuesday @ my Neurology appointment if the booties the VA issued on Friday did not help.
7:55 am left voicemail with Judy Ozuna. Will wait to hear back from her (Monday) before heading to ER or Urgent Care, since this has been going on for months.
Getting back to Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), found this link: http://helpguide.org/life/restless_leg_syndrome_rls.htm It could be this, but the coldness and purple skin indicate to me it could be something more, definitely a lack of circulation.
9:00 am found this home remedy for RLS, Lori Strand suggested this on Deb's FB.
Did a google... fresh bar of Ivory works fine....
