Wait a minute, I just gave you the answer.

So you did (just now) But you aren’t in any of the physicians offices I visit. Two of whom I specifically asked about the (what I now know is) HCV/Cryo related Petechiae on my ankles and feet. Their guesses were 1) “I don’t know what that is. Don’t worry about it”. And, 2) “Maybe it is tattooing from the ibuprofen you are taking for your severe joint pain. Take less.”
Honestly – frigging clueless…. These are good people, but REALLY?
My orthopedic surgeon, and neurosurgeon appeared to know nothing about it either. I asked them both about the possible source of the joint problems on multiple occasions. They did not know. These are learned people. Yet they don’t seem to have a clue.
Price, I guess we just have to figure out how to clone you, and slip you in the side door of their practices so that someone actually has the answers.
ETA: The purpura on my arms have faded, leaving only areas of normally pigmented skin which are slightly drier than the surrounding areas. The Petechiea on my feet are now completely gone with only a small, fading bit remaining just above each of my ankles.
