I know how you feel. I've actually asked for my feet to be amputated or the nerves cut. Also waited 8 months to see Vascular Surgeon. Then a referral from them to Dermatology - which took 7 months and a referral from Dermatology to Rheumatology - 11 months :(. So I really do sympathise.

Gosh....my symptons are futile to yours. I have lupus as well as raynauds. I asked doc for meds for the ray, but he said that they are vile and puff you up, full of nitrates, nasty things. Common sense that was his answer. They, fingers, have gone now typing this. I am on jsa, as I lost esa. I saw a guy yesterday about doing pc skills for a job. I used to work outside but because of both illness' can't and have to be retrained. I can imagine me with fingerless mitts on! I had dvt in my left leg last year, ever since then I have had a blue foot, feels strange to the touch, so I don't know if I have ray in that foot. I know it's difficult , but be positive. 12 years ago I wanted to die, had a breakdown. Took me 2 and 1/2 years to get back to some normality in life, still have dark days. Have a pleasant day
