Is this raynauds ?

[accidentalglixch]

I get random chills and feel freezing out of nowhere? I get a horrible icy tingle usually in the back of my skull which sweeps down to my fave theb my left to right side. Usually happens at night but can happen when I am upset or can kick up when my fibro kicks up

Sometimes I just randomly shiver as if I'm in a ice box? My hands and feet feel freezing even In a warm room. I can't seem to warm up after this, even when I am in layers.

It's not painful just a little uncomfortable 😕

Usually a hot water bottle helps

I've not noticed any change in my skin colour when this happens (i am a White female)

My father in law had raynauds. He never mentioned any chills down his back or skull. He had however terribly cold and discoloured hands when he was affected. The fingers would be completely white basically. It did not affect his feet very often, just sometimes. Never had any other bother than that really.

I have Raynauds. It affects my hands and sometimes feet. My fingers go white and it can be painful. This occurs mostly in cold weather. Try to wear good thermal gloves as this does help. My doctor prescribed a tablet called Adalat. This also helps. This is only available on prescription, after consultation with doctor. To try to warm hands when exposed for sometime in cold weather is difficult. The only way I found is to get out of the cold, warm hands gradually, under warm water, and usually a fast reaction happens. There have been times when I cannot feel my fingers, and cannot feel buttons on coat, and cannot use my hands until circulation has returned. My advice see a doctor.

I have Raynauds - in general its a peripheral neuropathy. My hands and feet are permanently ice cold. Washing my hands in warm water helps and I just bought a Revitive Medic which seems to be helping the feet (I only have used it for a week) But I needed to do something as the icy cold has spread up to my knees in the last 6 months

Some very good replies on here which I have found useful and I’m going to check them out. There’s also a HU forum covering Scleroderma & Raynaud’s which you may find helpful.
