Information about Raynaud's:

Thanks for this Snoopy! Sorry to hear your daughter has Raynaud's. Does she have the disease or syndrome?

I do know it affects the blood vessels, and I didn't think it was directly associated with MS. I know regulating temperature for folks with MS is a problem for sure, but this is quite extraordinary what happens with my fingers and toes (and other parts of hands/feet).

It happens mostly, from what I've noticed, in cold & damp weather. If it's very cold and dry I haven't seen it happen that I can recall, though in damp/cold, definitely.

I do know that Raynaud's syndrome is mentioned alongside M.S. in some things I've read, so it's confusing for sure. At the end of the day I guess it hardly matters - I have M.S. and I have Raynaud's syndrome.

My doctor said there's medications you can take for it if it's very bad, but she wouldn't want me to take them unless I really needed them. They can lower blood pressure, and I already have quite low blood pressure.
