i was blue for three months

[Noctis]

i am on my third night of opiate detox right now, and in conjunction with the receding numbness, my skin color has changed quite noticeably. since early november i have looked pallid, grey like, jaundice, and generally pale in the most elementary opinion of the public. summoned alongside my silver nitrate skin color was a bluish hue in my unmanned fingernails. i became incredibly anxious routinely because i thought the blue color was a result of a low blood oxygen level, which would materialize a low level of oxygen in the brain, but ended up assuming the frigid cold was culprit, and continued using opioids. now that i am sober, my pink irish complexion has emerged from those unbound opioid receptors, and my fingernails/lips have that virgin red that disappeared back in november. i have felt completely feeble all week, the pause to find every word in conversation a nightmare, my incredulous attempts at insight laughable, my train of thought electric silent. school work is nigh unthinkable, and even now my blank stare is more prominent than my hypothetical inquiry .i wanted to know if any opiate addicts had noticed a pale complexion, and more importantly cerulean appendages. do you think it's possible for 3+ months i was getting insufficient O2? (at this time i was awake most of the day, going to work, playing house, etc.) i wasn't gorging on mega doses, and the one time i went to the hospital worried about my O2sats(the first time i noticed the primary color change) i got a 99%, yet my fingers were still purplish? i still feel completely narcotized (only i used to engage in heavy thought while on opium/oxy until the last seven days, where no significant event like an OD or anything happened), could this be withdrawal? or have i become a casualty of dope? now when i examine my nails i can still see faint blue, which would probably appear more apparent if my skin was diluted again.

Talk to a doctor about this if you're worried about it.
