That's great news! Well done for persisting with it, introducing new drugs is always a challenge.

Have a great Christmas to you too, all the very best!

Hi Misty, You're post is inspiring. I have had Rayneuds for over 20 years & mine has been extreme from day 1 with my feet & fingers so swollen, cold with painful blood clots. My fingers & feet turn blue & get so cold I can't function. I won't explain my most recent development as it's quite rare & scary. I take Nifedipine as well as a no of other meds. I thought the Nifedipine was stop me having an Angina attack so it's great to know that it eases Rayneuds & hopefully stimulates circulation. This is a high risk time of year for me with SLE & no Rayneuds yet but I'm keeping warm & getting plenty of rest. Wishing you a warm & well Xmas! Thanks for sharing your great news!

Hi Magsle

Thank you for your lovely wishes. I'm sorry you have Raynauds so severely. Do you belong to the Raynauds Associatipn?. It's a good support group giving info on latest treatments etc. Have you ever had an Iloprpst Infusion ?. It's not very pleasant but does work well to open up the blood vessels, it's only given for severe cases. I hope your Lupus is behaving and you have a lovely Christmas X
