I know what you are thinking - diabetes right? It seems likely as my late Dad had it and Mum currently has it but she varies her diet when she can so it is under control to a certain extent.
I do take Sertraline for anxiety but I don’t know if it affects circulation at all. I have been on it over a year but only 50mg a day.
I have ordered pairs of ankle socks for diabetes sufferers as elastic at the top is nonexistent because elastic topped ones do leave indentations on my legs. They don’t hurt though and my feet don’t either - just a tad clammy at times.
Does this ring true with anybody and is there anything I can rub onto my feet that will help? Preferably something that smells good if possible.

But I thought you like red...
Seriously, though, I have no idea why they'd be red. My mum never noticed that.

I wrote the above on my phone at around 2am, I hope you're suitably impressed! Today I found a looser pair of socks so it will be interesting to see later on (when I take them off) if they've indented my legs or turned my feet red lol. If they haven't then I know the new pairs I'm getting will be a wise move. I shall keep you informed. Exciting eh?!

@BarBaraPrz By the way, my new 'Soft-Grip' socks seem to be working. No unsightly marks on my legs and I do think my feet look better too. I shall buy a few more pairs soon so I can chuck the dodgy ones out!
