I have made an appointment next Thursday at my docs, what do I ask? Don't know if I'm just use to my hands and feet but apart from the way they look I don't think much is wrong ok they are very sore and I get what I think are warts I don't Want to waste his time.

Ask for an autoimmune profile (a blood test) so they can check the raynauds isnt related to something more worrying. The warts in fact could be calcinosis which you get with scleroderma, so if you think they might be, ask for a referral to a rheumatologist - see link below

Hi buryboy. You need to know what's happening with your health so don't hesitate to see your doctor. I'm sure he won't think you're wasting his time. The raynaud's may be due to something else. Try not to worry too much in the meantime. Try to keep as warm as possible, moisturise your hands (and feet) especially at bedtime. Olive oil, vaseline, baby oil or any of the essential oils are good for your hands and skin care in general. ( You can even use vegetable oil and sunflower oil from your kitchen cupboard if you have some) Use gloves to protect your hands when you do the cleaning and washing up. Sudocrem is good as a barrier cream and will help if your hands itch.

Take good care of yourself, enjoy the weekend and keep us posted. Good luck at the doc's!
