Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 > 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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 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!
