Hi am 51 last Feb. 8 of finger got gangrene ! It started with blue fingers which I have had problems in the past with Raynaud's , Lupus,Lupus anticoagulant , May-Thurner , vertigo ! I have Rheurnatologish and Hematologist ! I went to emergency rooms for pain and didn't know what was going on had to change my hematologist to finally to help me that's when they put me in the hospital and started with the five blood transfusions ! Lots medications ! Rituximab .. chemotherapeutic treatments ! So far two ! The reason why am doing this is I'm just wondering why this is happening started looking online and seeing different things so I want to put my story out there !!!

You could do with iloprost infusion in hospital, or you are at risk of losing those fingers!

Hi , I never Heard of that is that !! My fingers doing lot bettter am just trying see what's out there and lean more about what people went through and how the doctors help them ! Is that a surgical procedure ?

No, iloprost is a drip and is a powerful vasodilator that you would have in hospital. I'm quite shocked that no one has thought to tell you, it is the standard treatment for severe raynauds.
