Cynanosis- blue fingernails, blue lips |

That's what they call it when you're not getting enough oxygen or you have poor circulation. Could just be cold, could be more serious. Since I have lupus, I'll be going to the doc in a couple of hours. Anyone want to make me feel less worried?

1. Maybe your just cold. Cold temperatures impair ciruculation. |

2. It's hot in my office and it's not going away |
|
The heat is stuck firmly in the "on" position- it's 78 in here and rising. I'd cross my fingers but I don't want them to look even weirder!

6. I am pretty stressed out... |

4. RP's a Reaction to Cold |

It sounds like cyanosis to me, but I'll let a doctor make a real dx!

8. Been here since about 7 |

But yeah, that's certainly a possibility. They also painted the office next door, so maybe it's a paint thing.
