Hi,

When I get such a noticeable change I go to my GP. I live in Warwickshire and when I was discharged by the consultant I was told that my GP would manage my symptoms from now on. My GP only has a few patients with Primary Raynaud's but they know the symptoms, the way they would expect them to change and when to re-refer if necessary.

I have had Primary Raynaud's for more than 10 years.When I was first diagnosed I was advised that it is a degenerative condition. I was told there is a list of medicines and the GP can take you through these as necessary.

I still manage without prescription medicine but I take Rutivite (Rutin) tablets twice a day - I cannot cope with my temperature fluctuations without them. They are made from buckwheat. I buy mine from Power Health (powerhealth.co.uk/, tel: [phone]).

I hope you get sorted quicly,

Nicola

Hi Emma

Sorry to hear about your troubles. We would recommend visiting your GP to check that this isn't secondary Raynaud's. You might like to ask for a blood test too just to rule out any other related conditions for peace of mind. Thanks. RSA.
