Raynaud's Syndrome: Anyone want to talk about Raynaud’s?

I have had Reynard for years..until i.mentioned it to my arthritis doctor nothing was ever done about it. I also have RA which they say is associated with reynauds. I read up.on it all the time....Air conditioning when I'm out in a store brings it on to the point that I have to bring a heavy sweater and or leave the store. Finally I found that if you keep your core ( which is your chest) warm in AC it helps immensely. I take nothing to control it. My extremities turn pure white and painful. I have fallen thru the cracks with my Arthritis doctor.In today's world you have to be in charge of your own health and the doctor gets paid for your time.in doing so...Something wrong with this picture.

Alot of people here in Calif at our building Sr apt. Where gloves and sweat suits with Reyneards?
Thanks Sandycam! I must try to remember to keep my core warm. That is advice I had not heard. I just went to the MCV clinic two days ago for blood work. I am required to go every 3 months. They are treating me for the Lupus, but concerning the Reynaurds, they basically tell me good luck!
Dear Proud...on your next visit to see your doctor, ask him ( she ) about keeping your core warm...It does work..just today I went into an air conditioned store and took my sweater with me...
Thanks Sandi, I will. Best to you!
All the best to you....keep in touch

@sandicam Thank you for responding. I am pretty sure my daughter has RA also. She has complained about aches and pains for years; especially in her knees.
