I must have it because my feet are cold most of the time, even in the summer, and my hands are cold all winter long. My feet are like popsicles in the winter. I have to keep a ceramic heater going by my desk all spring, fall and winter. I even run it in the summertime when my feet feel cold.

It's a great club! Welcome Wiz!!

I keep a case of those hand warmers around and I also have a heater by my desk and it runs most of the time.

I also have an electric blanket for the couch that I use all the time!! It's great!

Default me too
Hi, I've had Raynaud's as long as I can remember, but it has gotten much worse in last couple of years - same time as I have developed a lot of other problems probably related to some autoimmune disease no one can diagnose (peripheral polyneuropathy etc). the Raynaud's has gotten so bad I get chilblains on my toes - one of them burst and got infected last year. Not fun for a girl who likes to wear high heels and lives in Canada where we get very cold winters.... anyway my dr gave me adalat which helps somewhat.

I know there are two types, primary and secondary. I have primary but lately I seem to be having episodes more and more often. I know that stress can bring it on and so can the cold weather (it's been a little chilly here in Idaho ... )

I found this website along with a couple of others, but was hoping that maybe some of you had some experience with this...I know I don't have connective tissue disorder (scleroderma) and no thyroid problems, so I am just hoping that maybe the increased cold hands and feet is due to the unusual amount of stress I've been under lately

Confused Reynauds disease
For the last week, my 14 year old daughter has had her hands turn bright red and then these white either lines or round welt looking things pop out on fingers and hands. She complains of pain when it happens and discomfort. Its not on her feet. I thought she was having some kind of allergic reaction; but the dr. Is pretty positive it is rd. I saw the links some of you posted and i thank you since i dont know much about this rd. I will be posting more. Thanks in advance from idaho!
