Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Sounds like Raynaud's disease to me. If so, it's a benign problem: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/raynauds-disease/DS00433/ Debbi in Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I have feeling that she has other medical problems aside from Achalasia. I would like you to take her to her PEDIATRICIAN and get re-evaluated. She needs to be tested for other disorder or disease.. ________________________________ From: " shareedanieal@...

There have been others in this group that have had Raynaud's. Not that it means there has to be a connection to achalasia with that, though there could in some cases be. Raynaud's may possibly also involve the vagus nerve or in some cases be autoimmune. There is Raynaud's disease (idiopathic) and Raynaud's Phenomenon (secondary). Sometimes they can find a cause, other times not. If it is Raynaud's, then with achalasia, it may be worth checking with a rheumatologist to rule out a connection between them. notan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Thank you all for your responses, I have set Taniea up with a doctors app for tomorrow morning. This week has been particularly difficult for us, first (last week) she taste blood when she coughs and now I notice her toes are turning blue off and on. Sometimes though I remember the thought that God doesn't give us anything that we can't handle and though I wonder how she can keep going under these circumstances I figure if she uses all of her potential she will some one who is truly great! Notan, Her toes are cold but the weather here has been quite warm, I hadn't thought of bringing in a rheumatologist before but if it is thought to be Raynaud's then I definitely will give that a try. My gram has Raynaund's it's kind of distant to Taniea but maybe its some what hereditary? Carolyn, I asked her if her toes tingle and she said no, she said there is no pain or any heart differences also. Again thank you all, Shamira Molina ________________________________ From: notan ostrich <notan_ostrich@...> achalasia Sent: Tue, March 22, 2011 7:26:57 PM Subject: Re: Blue toes?? wrote: > > Taniea told me yesterday her toes were gray.. ....
