I'm not positive where they classify Raynauds...I thought it was considered an arthritis. I know I have it, and this year was the first time it effected my toes. I had the symptoms years ago, then they went away...this last winter, it's been bad. Even taking frozen veggies from the freezer sets it off now. My new Rheumy told me there are very good meds for Raynauds now, but I figure winter is over and the symptoms should die down for a few months anyways.

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
