The 33 year old man's bizarre and disabling symptoms see his legs turn to a deep purple. As well as the legs rapidly changing colour the man reported that for the last six months, every time he stands up they would feel "progressively feel heavy, tingly, itchy, and become dusky in colour". In just two minutes of standing the man's legs were noticeably red and by 10 minutes they appear a more deep purple. The man reported that he would also get a rash which spreads over his feet, but added that his legs would return to their normal colour and all the other symptoms would abate if he lay down. Discussed in this week's edition of the medical journal The Lancet, the piece added that the man "had a mild SARS-CoV-2 infection, confirmed by PCR, 18 months before" he was first seen and had "a suspected further SARS-CoV-2 infection six months later. He had been diagnosed with post-COVID-19 condition (also known as long COVID) in a specialist clinic three months before we saw him reporting a 12-month history of disabling and delayed post-exertional exhaustion, disproportionate to the effort made; he also reported muscular pain, sleep disturbance, visual difficulties, sexual dysfunction, and brain fog. The patient had been diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome two months before we saw him, by a cardiologist". Have you had odd long covid symptoms?

The 33 year old man’s bizarre and disabling symptoms have been discussed in this week’s edition of the medical journal The Lancet and reveals how quickly the white man’s legs turn to a deep purple
A rare and mysterious new Long Covid symptom has been identified by doctors after a man – who caught the virus twice in 18 months – was left with his legs rapidly changing colour when he stands up.
The 33 year old man’s bizarre and disabling symptoms see his legs turn to a deep purple. As well as the legs rapidly changing colour the man reported that for the last six months, every time he stands up they would feel “progressively feel heavy, tingly, itchy, and become dusky in colour”.
In just two minutes of standing the man’s legs were noticeably red and by 10 minutes they appear a more deep purple. The man reported that he would also get a rash which spreads over his feet, but added that his legs would return to their normal colour and all the other symptoms would abate if he lay down.
Discussed in this week’s edition of the medical journal The Lancet, the piece added that the man “had a mild SARS-CoV-2 infection, confirmed by PCR, 18 months before” he was first seen and had “a suspected further SARS-CoV-2 infection six months later. He had been diagnosed with post-COVID-19 condition (also known as long COVID) in a specialist clinic three months before we saw him reporting a 12-month history of disabling and delayed post-exertional exhaustion, disproportionate to the effort made; he also reported muscular pain, sleep disturbance, visual difficulties, sexual dysfunction, and brain fog.
