My doc in Bangkok showed me my red palms and said it was because I had liver disease. I think its just a sign that is obvious if you know about it.
BTW: I am still guessing whether you're at Big Sur or the Lost Coast. Probably neither. Enjoy the rain. OH
So yes,I've been to the L.C.,to Usal and around to S.C.
I'm just out 128 near the county line at a friend's place. He used to be our sheep shearer! I still miss seeing sheep on the hills.
Anyhow, Copyman is right, there is more than one cause for red palms. We with hepc think of the liver, but what don't we attribute to liver disease or liver tx? It's become a mindset. I have a painful big toe on my right foot. It's some kind of arthritic inflamation (inflammation) but I'm sure it's caused by my liver!
Copyman: When I looked up red palms, one of the websites was Medhelp and the quote they posted started out: copyman is right there's more than one reason for red palms... and it was an answer by goof referring to rosy palms not red palms, if you get my drift!
