Avatar n tn I have EM. My extremities will get cold when it's cold but then sometimes, and not always, when they warm up they do go bright red, hands and feet. It feels as though I have a fever. Then they will burn. In my hands I tend to massage the fingers thinking it will help but actually when I do that I can feel the burning even more. I was tested as well and had normal vascular tests for Raynaud's. You can have EM as a primary with no secondary disease.
Avatar f tn s also recommended for a number of conditions, including high blood pressure, PTSD, enlarged prostate, CHF, Raynaud's disease, pheochromocytoma, and Ergot alkaloid poisoning. http://www.everydayhealth.
1861997 tn?1333165497 See our Wednesday Weight Watch thread for the exercises we are doing for those with limitations, the exercises are not all for muscle tone for for brain function as well...so do try them starting at the beginning and slowly work ur way down....
4274823 tn?1388529098 Thank you for the info. The symptoms that may be Raynaud's phenomenon have lessened over time perhaps because both the hypothyroidism and tendinitis symptoms aren't as severe as they once were. I hope to get the thyroid bloodwork in early July at the latest through my conventional doctor so it's covered. I see my naturopathic doctor regularly and pay for that. She's provided holistic support for which I am thankful.
581310 tn?1253029550 I am feeling no different with the anxiety. I am thinking I might need to get on xanax for a little while until my prozac is increased since it is really driving me crazy. Any advice would be great.
Avatar f tn Check out the documentary "Under Our Skin" which is about chronic Lyme disease. That's an eye opener! I have four autoimmune diseases and have a negative ANA btw. Hmmm :) I did find a study entitled - Syncope and Raynaud's disease. Syncope is the medical term for fainting. This does make sense that fainting could be a symptom of Raynaud's due to ischaemia (restriction in blood supply to tissues) in the brain.
Avatar m tn I am a 16 male and have very weak / no orgasms (this includes when masturbating), however, i used to orgasm in the past. I was wondering if there is a way this can be sorted out and what the reason for it is. Note: I have recently been diagnosed with raynaud's phenomenon (circulation problems) and i was thinking that this may be the cause of the problems.
Avatar f tn I suffer from freezing hands and feet almost all the time regardless of whether or not i wear gloves/socks. Its also accompanied by blue/purple colouration of my feet, hands and fingernails. Im not sure if its Raynaud's or nerve degeneration as i have lost feeling in the extremities to the point i cant determine hot from cold and a general numbness and clumbsiness. I am worried that the condition might spread also.
Avatar f tn Hello I have had toes that turn red and dark purple for years. My fingers also turn red. Worse in the heat and cold. Also my toes are really sensitive. If I bump 1 not stub it really really hurts and swells. Does that sound like pa disease?? Or something else. I've told my doctor a few times he just kinda blows me off.
Avatar n tn m going to guess your doctor tested you for ANA which has high sensitivity for the disease. Do you have any idea what count you got? You should always get a copy of your lab tests so you can understand what they mean. If your doctor did not explain them well enough, you should ask him/her for more information. Here's the thing...
Avatar f tn I was on Adallat C for 4 months with fairly good relief and at the end of 4 months and was then put on Norvasc. These were specifically for the cold hands and feet, not for high blood pressure, as mine has always been low (90/60). The Norvasc was tried for 30 days with no improvement. Nerve conduction studies ruled out nerve damage so arteriorgram of upper extremities was recommended.
Avatar n tn Our child was on Prozac for a year when she was six years old - she sufferd from severe anxiety and depression. We had major issues with the Prozac. Her doctor placed her on Effexor for two-three years with moderate success but some side effects as sweating and poor sleep issues. She now takes a very low dose of Celexa and is doing well. If it were me, I think I might choose point (3) with one of the newer SSRI's (they tend to have fewer side effects).
Avatar f tn Does anyone else have Raynaud's Disease? I was diagnosed 2 years ago with Raynaud's just had bloodwork done and my ANA titer was high but SED rate low and was told that sometimes the ANA can be high in people with Raynaud's. Does anyone know that to be the case or should I be concerned about my ANA?
Avatar f tn I had to stop taking Prozac because of anxiety after taking it with no problems for years. So, if it works for you now, keep an eye on how it's working later.
Avatar n tn Raynaud's will normally occur with periods of blue/purple tinged fingernails that can occur after stress and cold. You should be able to get more focused information on this from the Arthritis doctor forum which is supervised by rheumatologists http://www.medhelp.
1029507 tn?1287714315 My Raynaud's has actually gotten worse over time but I still have other symptoms too. I'm definitely not cured and probably never will be.
Avatar m tn I have been told that Raynaud's syndrome is a symptom of Multiple Sclerosis. I was diagnosed with Raynaud's Syndrome in 1988 and later diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2004. Could my diagnosis with Raynaud's in 1988 been the onset of Multiple Sclerosis since the symptoms for both diseases are the same. Is there any medical research to prove that Raynaud's could be a symptom of MS?
Avatar f tn Hi! Raynaud's is specifically a symptom that is seen in various diseases and what you see and feel in your fingers and toes is called Vasospasms. Pay close attention to your legs do you ever see a lacy looking appearance to them? If you do note that in your comments to discuss with your doctor including any fevers, rashes and medicines you are taking. If you are having joint pains or other symptoms note them. Raynaud's is a classic symptom of autoimmune conditions.
629189 tn?1225402248 I had Raynaud's phenomenon for years, and for whatever reason just assumed it was normal. More recently I found out I had a gluten intolerance or allergy, and the Raunaud's resolved completely, along with the gastrointestinal problems.
Avatar f tn Thanks for your comments. Will give the Prozac a little while longer. What do you think of my doctors advice to switch from one drug to the other without weaning off the first one?
