Yesterday I visited a Rheumatologist for the first time (a referral from my podiatrist). She said Raynaud's isn't all that uncommon, was a bit worried about the dark bruise on one purple toe, is sending me for lab work due to repeated positive ANA results on pevious reports. Yes, the frostbite went away..that was eons ago, or so it feels: 1970's.
She's also put in a request to up my Cymbalta to an effective dosage, says it's very good for pain from osteoarthritis and Raynaud's (Nobody EVER told me that before!!) and has even given me permission for medical marijuana, if needed.
I started having continuous foot colness and pain while I was livin g in South Florida!! CT is a horror for feet and hands. I can't find any truly insulated boots...they say they are, but they're just sitting under my bed collecting dust.... Anyone with suggestions?

Hi I also have severe reynoss and was diagnosed with MCTD 3 days ago. My toes had bad ulcers in them I could barely walk. My Dr gave m Niagara 3 times a day for blood flow it work’s pretty well. I am a 69 yr old female and trying to digest this.. how’s you’re daughters raynods now

Yes I would be interested in discussion on Raynaud as my boyfriend suffers from it

My feet and hands are ice cold all the time. Not sure what it is? Is it Raynauds, circulation or anxiety?

I have had Raynauds for over 24 years, along with an autoimmune disease. When it started my hands would turn blue with the cold and when I got nervous and anxious. Saw rheumatologist and got diagnosed. Start with intervention early. Keep hands warm with wearing gloves. I wear those knit magic gloves at night and keep them around in summer and winter because of air conditioning. Also keep yor hands moisturized especially in winter so you don't get cracks and ulcers there is alot on computer on how to keep from making it worse. I almost had to have a finger amputation due to a cut that got infected. Must do preventative measures to keep from hands getting worse.

My daughter was initially diagnosed with Raynadus Syndrome at 3 years old, she is now 5 years old. I would like to hear from other parents with similar experiences... their studies are oriented toward unconfirmed Fibroblastic Rheumatism. We live in Massachusetts and of course, the weather is not our ally.

Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @flowercita ! I’m so glad you found this site. I’m sure members. Will see your post and respond soon. Welcome!

I am relatively new to Raynauds, and recently learn it is secondary. I am trying to learn about which of my other symptoms may be related to the Raynauds. I have lots of foot,
leg cramping.

@weismanna Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I’ so glad you’re here and found this site.
You’ve asked about Raynaud’s so I’ve included what Mayo Clinic says.

What other symptoms do you have that make you suspicious about Raynauds. I’m sure our knowledgeable members can answer most of your questions.
You recently learned that Raynaud’s is secondary. What other autoimmune disease do you have?
