Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 HI It could be the way you are sleeping, you may have a pinched nerve or disc bulging. I can't raise my arms up and have great pain in my arms, I have herniaed and bulging disc on my spinal cord. That could also be the problem when the other person goes potty. My arms and legs have went to sleep. When your brain isn't getting enough oxygen it cuts off your extremities first hands and feet first, that is why sometimes you see your nails are purple, keep your pulse ox close and check that often. Have someone check you while sleeping too and see if you drop in your sleep. I hope everyone has a great year this year.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 yes, with the Raynauld's....I get tingling in the feet and hands. my toes and fingers sometime turn blue/purple from the lack of oxygen. then they have to be rubbed to get the blood flowing again. then when the blood flow comes back it stings like if you have put your cold hands into some hot water....... since starting the procardia i have found that it doesn't happen as much, it still happens but maybe only once or twice a day for a few minutes verses several times a day for as long as a half hour at a time. if you dr thinks that is not lung related, i think he's crazy. the lungs produce/ or don't produce the oxygen we need and in return that damages much more than blood circulation. it damages the heart, the liver, arteries (which is what happens with raynauld's) how can they say it isn't lung related????
