hi Danacetz

Nifedipine made me weak, dizzy, cold, exacerbated all the symptoms a 1000 times worse so after trying it for four weeks stopped taking it. Having read other peoples comments in their blogs or questions, seems we are all very different - some people really find it helps and others like me - can't stand it.

That sounds like me, I thought I was going pass out from exhaustion just from carrying in my moms 10 pound slow roaster from the garage. Did you find any medicine that worked for your raynauds?
