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

My daughter was diagnosed when she was about 15. As she grew older she tried to convince herself that she did not have it. Just about then, she is now also diagnosed with RA. She is 52. She is faithful about exercise and her eating habits. I do not know how she does it, but not take anything other than Tylonl. She is SO strong.

Hello,
I’m sorry your daughter has to deal with this syndrome. Hopefully, she’ll learn some things to help manage it. I was diagnosed with Secondary Raynaud’s stemming from lymphoma. It’s mostly in three fingers on my right hand at this point. It started in one finger last summer, then spread. Cold weather makes it worse. My neurologist suggested taking beta-blockers next winter to help. The fingers start hurting, then turn white, then blue. Sometimes the blue stays for a few days. If I’m at home, I’ll wrap a warm heating pad on the hand for awhile to help settle it down. Sometimes it’s mildly painful, other times more severe.
I hope your daughter can get some relief.

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.
