Raynauds & Diagnosed Health Issues Questionaire What Do You Think?

Coldtoes profile image
30 Replies

I have read all of your posts and questions. I see many of the same issues I have, not one or two but many. Would this community like to see a check list questionnare all in one nice little package? I know I would. I am an exercise physiologist and published research author; I am interested in seeing it all in one table. We could all then use the results of our unoffical poll to talk with our own medical provider. If you are in, just reply and in the response list your diagnosed health problems like this--

Raynauds

Iritis

Dry Eye

Spontaneous Teeth Breakage

Numb Toes, Fingers, Ankles

Pain in toes, fingers, nose

I guess I will know if you are in if you click respond and put your list on the page...then I will comply the responses and create our own little check list for our group and others, in particular our doctors.

Thanks for stopping by & stay warm,

Coldtoes

Hi Lisa,

What do you mean by vascular headaches?

I have a pain in head and neck and have had for 6 weeks-no longer think it is just a stiff neck. pain can be bad.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE FOLLOWING THIS THREAD:

I see new posts/questions regularly that relate to this thread of course.

If you are responding to other questions onsite would you be so kind as to suggest that they also visit this thread and share their information?

Trying to connect the dots so that we have a few more responses before we create the suggestion to POLL the entire group.

Thank you and stay warm,

Coldtoes
