Blue hands

Hey again guys,
As I've said before, I have had a PM for 14yrs but this last one has been giving me real problems which I have asked some of you about...But now, my hands seem to be going blue on a daily basis which hasnt happened since I was like 9 before havin a PM. Any advice? Should I worry?

How low is your hr? Blue usually means lack of circulation. If you are getting blue nails or lips, get to the ER.

Reynards ?

Thanks guys. I am going to see my consultant on tuesday so will bring it up then. I'll let you know how it goes.
Also, my dr did say i had reynards disease as my fingers were going numb but they've never gone blue before. And yes; it is VERY annoying!

You know you're wired when...

Your signature looks like an EKG.

I have had my pacer since 2005. At first it ruled my life. It took some time to calm down and make the mental adjustment. I had trouble sleeping and I worried a lot about pulling wires. Now I just live my life as I wish.
