Need Help Quickly, Diagnosing My Brother, He Has Black Feet- Posted: 11-05-05 15:21pm
Hello, i'm new and just need help
diagnosing what could possibly be wrong
with my brother steve.
Before I explain I think it'd be relavent
for me to state that he's overweight.
His feet are of a black shade, under his
feet and between his toes.
I understand he's got poor circulation in
his legs, and he's also become very
confused to the extent of wanting to visit
his dead daughter who died in hospital 9
years ago, i've seriously never seen him
so depressed.
He's stop wanting to eat or drink, and
refuses to take medication for his various
heart problems, and to me it's just like
he's giving up.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to
post this but i'd appreciate help asap.
Thanks a lot.

Have you thought about he may be a
diabetic. My grandfather is a diabetic,
and without knowing he stepped on a needle
and a few weeks later his foot was
changing color. Diabetics have poor
circulation in their legs and feet, they
also lose some feeling in their feet. I
would definately check on this. Because
when a foot turns black it means it is
dying and gane green sets up and you could
lose a limb. I hope that is not what it
is, and let us know how it turns out....

It sounds like he needs to go see a doctor
immediately!
Seriously, people this is not a doctor
office!

Hello there! I am no Dr. But I truly
believe that your brother needs some
professional help, without his heart
medication the situation can get worse.
I have always said that we can lead a
horse to water but we cannot make them
drink. You are very special for trying
to help. The only thing you can do is to
call his Dr., tell the dr what is going on
and try to get him an appt. And take him
in. Good luck to you! You are in my
thoughtsss aand prayers. If you have
another family member, ask them to help!
