Acupuncture

I am a 76 year old woman in good health with Raynaud's and recently have redness and tingling in my toes Has anyone tried acupuncture

Hi Joan!

This sounds a bit like erythromyelalgia. I have had acupuncture for menstrual problems, pre menopause and it was very effective. I haven’t used it for raynauds (I also have scleroderma), but I do think that acupuncture is amazing, so I,d give it a go!

Best wishes,

Lisa

For the past three years I have used acupuncture to help manage the Reynaud's in my hands. I find that a 1-hour session once a week really increases the blood flow into my hands and usually eliminates the pain immediately. The effects can last for up to a few days sometimes. It's certainly worth a try.

Thanks for your input. I will try it in the near future.
