Much love, respect & support to you Diane lovely.
I have secondary Raynauds only in one hand due to Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis and I struggle enough to with just that!
I won’t tell you that you’re “brave” etc as we just have to get on with what’s forced on us don’t we?
Given a choice we would just not have these horrid autoimmune diseases and not have to be “Brave’ at all 😂
But you’re doing brilliantly with your lot, and speaking about it helps others so much.
You’re clearly a compassionate, intelligent, beautiful soul & I wish only the very best for you in the future.
The best is yet to come for us my lovely 😊

Nothing in USA that helps with this really. Such a bummer.

[@dubenheim6216]

I have it in both hands and feet. Lost a toe already. I know it's been more than 5 years, but I'm curious to know to the medication name, and whether or not she still feels it's working. I understand if that's private information.

Hello, I don't know what she took at the time but I know that many doctors prescribe Nifedipin, you should check with your doctor if it could be an option. It works great !

[@dubenheim6216]

@Velia Thanks, Velia. I appreciate your comment. I did switch to Nifedipine a while ago. Right now I seem to be in remission. Plavix and max dose of Cialis seem to be working. You must have it as well, yes?

[@sardarkhan1367]

I have bad Reynolds with Scleroderma😪

[@WeAreSRUK]

Sorry to hear that! Do let us know if there's anything we can do to support you - our website (www.sruk.co.uk) has lots of information on both conditions if you're not sure where to start.
