I have just been watching some of the lectures from the Oct 17 SRUK conference and the talk by Prof Peter Butler seemed to have some very positive data about the use of Botox reducing Raynauds attacks. Has anyone any experience of it? I have been offered it, but have not accepted the offer so far.

I have had Botox to the fingers twice from Prof Butler. I understand the result varies for people and probably depends on the time of year ( temperature.) The first time was in the summer months and the swelling in my fingers subsided for about three months and my hands stayed pinkish during this time. The second time during the winter months the injections didn’t make a significant difference at all so l am back to trying medication and keeping my hands warm. I would suggest giving it a try.
I had it but did not notice any difference at all.We are all different though and what works for me won't necessarily work for you. If it's offered to you try it. Good luck.
I never had reyneaud till i had some botox..i often wondered if it caused it..who knows it is a poison.reyneaud begins with your internal thermostat out of wack..I've been told.!!
