Does anyone with raynauds suffer with problems with earwax ?

[bookworm]

Had to have my ears syringed a few times, and suctioned out once. Plus recently the dr said my ears were that blocked she couldn't see my ear drums and have to have them syringed again in a couple of weeks.

Also tried hoppi ear candles.

I've got Raynaud's and also have to have my ears syringed regularly but I was unaware of any link between the two.

I do seem to have a lot of wax and have pain when flying but have never seen a doctor or needed them syringed.

I've an appointment to see ENT consultant in a couple of weeks because of wax in one ear but constant ringing and hissing in both - driving me MAD. Have been told that it could possibly be linked to Raynauds and Scleroderma. It's interesting to hear(?!) that other people on here have similar problems and I shall certainly mention it. GP wouldn't syringe - apparently it's not done too often these days! Recommended warm olive oil daily for 20 minutes but it hasn't helped at all. Anyone got any remedies that work?

I also have my ears syringed frequently: olive oil only softens the wax but doesn't remove it.

I hadn't realised that it might be linked to Raynaud's.

I have had problems for 6 years. I have autoimmune inner ear disease also. Off balance all the time. Just went to the ent, thinking I have wax, not. They could not see an eardrum. My ent said it is related.

I've got Raynauds and have the same! - although I've not had my ears syringed I have been to the doctor with a problem with wax and ears just feeling blocked as well as a lot of pain (to the point of being put off of flying). However, the doctor said I should try simple Hayfever relief decongestant nasal spray. For flying it works - take a little more than it says (before flying) and you get no pain. I was using the nasal spray once a day for 3 months (on and off) - and I've not had to use it since. It has certainly helped. Perhaps it will help you or someone else too.

I'm new to this site. I have Raynaud's pretty much have the blue cold sore toes thingy in control. I'm 75 and had my first blue toe thing about 3-4 yrs ago. I keep warm. I have a hearing loss wear hearing aids. Have tons of wax. Last year I had a rash on my hands, took benadryl and Triamcinolone Acetonide I got from the dermatoligist. I'm having another bought with it right now. I want to spit nails. That cream doesn't do a thing. I never connected the rash and pain with Raynaud's. Does anyone have attacks like that. It's not a big rash you can't see it but can feel it. I think I ran this by the wrong Doctor. I'm leaving on a trip Tuesday, great.
