Count me in on this one. I have never turned blue though - just a waxy yellowish white colour, usually on a couple of fingers and I always have a very distinct line across a joint where it shows the demarcation between blood flow areas.

Not pleasant.

I got a Raynaud's diagnosis in 2009…..

I still don't have an MS diagnosis though….

I never would have actually linked the two to be honest.

That's different Lynn, I've not noticed a line across the joint as you explain/describe, but I'll be on the look out for oddities.

Do you find your fingers and toes ache horribly at times?

Sorry to hear that you have this as well. Le sigh.

This us an example of the 'line' I was talking about - it doesn't always happen, sometimes I just get white blotches on my hands, fingers and feet, sometimes the line goes across several fingers and might be down to the second joint, or even the whole finger. This pic was taken in low light, and I haven't done anything to enhance it - I was just glowing like a white beacon.

Yup, that sure looks like Raynaud's...and that's got to hurt! So sorry Lynn .

With love, Erika

WOW Lyn, That is something.

It's weird when it happens this bad - as if I don't have enough trouble with numb fingers already

I usually shake my hands a lot and run them under warm water and it comes back to normal - a nasty feeling though. I have never shown this to a doctor, perhaps I should - I doubt it would make any difference.

I'd still mention it to your doctor, just so they're aware.

They do have medications that you can take if it gets to be too much - for now, I'll deal with the kaleidoscope of colours I get with mine. Thank you for sharing the photo Lynn, that's a great photo (not great that you have the condition, but a fantastic example of it).

I wanted to post a photo of my feet from the pictures I took, but I will have to come back later with one, I seem to have "misplaced" them on my computer somewhere. ... we all know how that goes. lol.

Plus, I'm not entirely sure how to post a picture without a URL, but I'll figure it out.
