Re: Plaquenil and Secondary Raynaud's

[Guest guest]

> Raynauds is very problematic for me. > I made a post similar to this

one on another site and got a reply that Plaquenil is not for Raynaud's.

HI Betty,

My daughter has scleroderma and Raynaud's, and the doctor put her on

Nifedipine for her Raynaud's, which helped a lot. I haven't heard of

Plaquenil for Raynaud's, either. I take Plaquenil, but for RA. My

daughter was also on colchicine, which really helped her slcero a lot.

Take care,

Both my father and I have Raynaud's, but with him it

is a primary raynauds, and with me it is secondary to

my RA. I have not heard of Plaquenil for raynaud's,

but I did take it for RA with good result. My dad was

diagnosed Procardia for his Raynaud's and got much

better. Prior to that his nose was always bright

purple red and his hands and fingers blanched white

and red, as well as his feet. The Procardia is also

taken for heart conditions and somehow it works well

also on the circulatory system and affects Raynaud's

for him. The Raynaud's right now is going crazy with

the new colder weather here in southern CA - and it's

only maybe 70! My hands are ice! Take care - Kathe

in CA
