It is for me. Especially the toe thing. Sometimes it's just a matter or re-lacing or re-tying my shoes but sometimes it's just a weird thing my feet do.

Red: if I'm wearing shorts I've noticed that from time to time, yeah. Not an every time thing, but it happens.

Well I'm relieved to see I'm not the only one. I don't anyone else with the same issue irl. It's not anything serious then?

ayrt

My mother and sister both have the same problem occasionally. I think it's just a blood flow or circulation thing? Ours is all on the low side, so that could be it but I've never mentioned it to a doctor or anything.

If i go out and walk quickly or for longer than usual (walking around a neighborhood or zoo or something) or am walking in chilly air, my legs get flushed like that, and also a bit itchy. Personally, i always put it down to me moving = better circulation = little capillaries and whatnot pumping full of blood and all my muscles and skin getting more blood-flow than they normally do when just sitting.

Re - iron. I've been anemic all my life, so who knows, maybe it's a factor. You can try a tincture if regular iron supplements bother your stomach (they mostly bother everyone). http://herblore.com/products/iron-tonic-tincture This is one i'm getting, myself. It's a tincture (dissolved in alcohol) of dandelion root, yellow dock, and nettle. It's something recommend to pregnant women and it helps with the whole constipation thing.

Take it with oj (vitamin c helps you to absorb iron) and leave off any milk/dairy for a couple hours (calcium inhibits your ability to absorb iron).

You're not weird! It's okay. :)

Poor circulation won't kill you overnight, but it's not great. It means your extremities aren't getting the blood they need, and they're also not getting all the stuff blood carries-- such as oxygen. In diabetics, tingling/numbness in the feet is very common. It leads to tissue damage and in extreme cases, requires amputation.

The problem is that nobody here can tell you for sure it's serious or not serious. Symptoms like this are general and can apply to a lot of medical issues. It could be nothing... or it could be something that needs dealing with right away. You won't know unless you see a doctor and rule out all the serious stuff.

I also get numb feet if I lace my shoes up too tight, especially at the top.

I can't wear rings either for more than a few hours as that does the same. Even very loose rings. I also get shooting pains down my tendons. There's nothing wrong with my circulation, it's just a thing I have.

It comes and goes, some years I have it and some years I don't.
