Hi I have been diagnosed FIBROMYALGIA 5 years ago and RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS , and the last 4 months i have been told i have Raynauds phenomenon , which i have been told if you have FIBROMALGIA you have a low chance to getting RAYNAUDS , I have been taking NIFEDIPINE for about 4 months and they are not working. My GP phoned me today to say he is sending me to hospital for injections into the hand , to open up the blood vessels , God i wished the capsules would work . Most cases of secondary Raynaud's are associated with conditions that cause the immune system to attack healthy tissue (autoimmune conditions) such as RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS and LUPUS
