Sorry to hear of your trouble.

Have you tried any medicines? I take calcium channel blockers (1st nifedipine, now amlodipine) and they give me pretty total control of symptoms.

Also I moved 450 miles due south from Scotland to south of England that change in climate from cold &:wet to warm & dry really helped too.

They put me on high blood pressure medicine even though I have low because it helps with blood flow. I almost lost a finger from my Raynaud’s but it is much better now.

I had an Iloprost infusion a couple of years ago when I went into hospital. I have also had a stellate ganglian block to keep the blood flow open to my fingers. I can't take nifedipine.

Not what you're looking for?
