Male 92 later this year. Tingling and numbness in cold fingertips but not toes.

Don’t know whether related but 60 years ago had a nasty thick bruising extremely hard skin to lower chest diagnosed as scleroderma.

It cleared up and have never had any problems.

Didn’t know there was a possible connection to Reynauds but now concerned about my fingertips

Despite age in pretty good shape apparently although on statins and blood thinners.

So sorry about your Raynaud’s. I’ve had mine since birth. Didn’t really start to cause big problems until around age 12. Had it in feet and hands then now anywhere it pleases.

Hope you’re able to cope with it well.

Take care. Abundant blessings.

Thank you honey bug sorry to hear that. I’m relatively lucky as only experienced this problem in the last few years.

Been doing an immense amount of hard/ finger exercises but looking for something apart from injections or more tablets which I can take up.

Not what you're looking for?
