Pruney fingers

[Thulasi1]

Hi All,

Is this the symptom of b12 deficiency. I get pruney after just touching water since I am diagnosed with PA. Or is it something else.

I, too, started getting pruney fingers when first diagnosed. I'm pretty sure it was part of the Raynaud's that I started suffering from when I was diagnosed.

I still get the prune effect (just a slight chill in the air will do it). But the Raynaud's has greatly diminished since I started taking nifedipine (for high blood pressure).

Hi fbirder,

Thanks for reply. Is it other autoimmune disease. I am afraid as it is linked to lupus, scleroderma etc. my BP is normal.

There are different causes of Raynaud's. Scleroderma is one.

I never considered that it could be B12, but I get pruney fingers! Thinking about it....I really think they are much less pricey with well controlled B12 levels.

I cannot stand the feel of dry air on my fingers and having everything I touch feel..dry. So I used a LOT of lotio n. I've always blamed the lotion for my raisin fingers but it really could be B12!
