Vasodilators, Calcium Channel Blockers, Capsican, Healthifeet Warming Cream
 
Okay, so I did a search for Vasodilators and didn't come up with anything.

Has anybody been prescribed vasodilators besides those with Vascular TOS? Those with VTOS, how long were you prescribed them and for how long.

Has anybody been prescribed these for something other than their TOS?

How about anybody being prescribed Calcium Channel Blockers?

What about High Blood Pressure Medications generally?

Has anybody tried rubbing Capsican cream (use the lowest dose I think .025% to start) all over their shoulders, neck, arms, hands, armpits, sides, etc...? WILL SOMEBODY ELSE TRY THIS AND TELL ME HOW IT DOES FOR THEM??? You can get it for a dollar at the dollar store. It is a vasodilator. It has also been used in a small study for fibromyalgia. To intensifiy the sensation, you can get in the shower after 20 minutes or so. I tried this with a stronger dose and ended up with first degree burns, so be careful. However, at the end of it, all of the knots in my muscles were relaxed it was awful and great all at once.

Anybody else with any info along this line?

Asprin had little effect for me.

I've just ordered the Healthifeet stuff to try. It is supposed to be a vasodilator for diabetics feet.

I have TOS and CRPS2. I take clonadine for high blood pressure and pain. My specialist tried many other bp meds it was the only one that worked. It helps blood pressure surges related to pain and regulates the temperature differences between the two sides of my face. Booklover
