Hi ellyfeb:
Have Raynaud’s and medication did not help me, I walk which helps the circulation for my legs and feet, plus I always wear cotton socks to bed, even in summer to keep feet warm. Compression ankle socks worked better for me than the compression knee highs when my circulation was bad. Use cotton gloves for hands and when winter comes, two pairs of gloves which help keep my hands warm enough to keep the white, blue, and purple at bay. For the eyes, I use dry eye therapy drops, saline water for nose drops, and biotene for dry mouth, with drinking lots of water. Have not found a decent RA dr, but have a great primary dr. You can write anytime and I will do my best to help you, hang in there, know you are not alone.

@sunshine67 Thank you so much for your suggestions. I changed to the ankle compression socks. So much better. My Primary Care doctor has stepped up as she has Raynauds also. Bloodwork states no RA! So glad about that but no answers as to what brought this on. Have changed to nifedipine which has helped more than the amlodipine. The cramping has reduced and the number of episodes of pain and cramping has greatly reduced. Thank you so much! My hubby and I feel so much more supported. The key for me is this blog and help given here!
