Guest guest Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hi vjrademacher: I also have Raynauds. My rheumies have told me to always wear gloves in cold weather, or even when placing or removing items from the freezer. If your hands do get too cold, run warm water over them. It's important to keep episodes to a minimum, as over time they can cause permanent damage to your skin. There's lots of info and tips on Raynauds out there, most health websites have some info. warm blessings, jane ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Have a burning question?

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Hi....Raynaud's is a condition that causes some parts of your body (ie. feet/hands) to feel numb and cold. Could sometimes be brought on by stress or cold weather. Thanks.... ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Hi Jane, Thanks for the great tips! For my cold feet that just wouldn't warm up, I pu them on a hot water bottle. I checked out some websites and found some good info. Also seen my doctor who sent me for blood tests. He's checking first for diabetes and B12 deficiency. If those tests are ok, then he said he'll be sending me to a neurologist. Bye for now. ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 So, is this also auto immune? My feet are always cold unless I am flaring. They become so cold the tips of my toes hurt like they do when you are out in snow a little too long. My hands use to do this too when I was a teenager. Back then if my fingers got too cold, they'd swell and itch, sometimes hurt, and they'd turn a bluish red color. This is interesting to find out. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hi , That's a good question. I'm not sure. From what I understand, secondary Raynaud's can happen with certain autoimmune diseases, but primary Raynaud's itself, I don't know. Your doctor would be able to recognize that and to be honest, I don't know how they would test for Raynaud's. Hope you find out more info....
