What could this be? Feet and hands have this, and they hurt. More prominent in the morning. Blood pooling? Organisms?

I have that symptom as well. In addition, if I lean on something with a hard edge, it will leave a bright red mark.
I have been to two LLMD's now, countless other ducks, no one has been able to give me an answer.
Actually it was one of my first symptoms.
My guess, and it's only a guess, is it has something to do with hypercoagulability.

I use to have bart pain almost like arthritis with my fingers from bart. The bart would get in the nerves in my fingers and actually start moving my fingers around. I blasted the .... out of my fingers with rife with the proper freq. Needless to say I nuked bart in my hands and they aren't bothering me. I will track down and nuke that insidious little POS if it tries to resurface.

Are you "cold" when it happens? I've seen cold and stress make it worse, and that is why I ask.
Here are some pics to let you know you are not alone.
Also, how long have you had Lyme? Folks who have been infected a long while can sometimes develop the ACA manifestations of chronic Lyme.
And then there are neuro problems that can happen along with ACA too (blood vessel changes, etc).

Yeah Tincup it's more noticeable in the wintertime, i.e. sleeping in a cold room.

I have something pretty similar going on as well. And, the same thing stillwater mentioned -- if I press my finger into the groove of a fork for example, it will leave a red imprint of the groove in my finger.
I just realized this was worse when using a macrolide antibiotic (Azithromycin, Clarithromycin) and DOUBLE worse when using Plaquenil.
I sometimes wake up with red marks etched into my skin from the mattress design in the mornings. I've yet to find a name for it, or an understand of the physiology.
Toppers -- Your mailbox is full. I got a question about the hair loss.

Toppers and Stillwater,
