Success with with supplements/alternative treatments for Raynaud's (Curcumin, omega oils, magnesium oil)

I am still in the process of being diagnosed, but it looks like I have limited systemic scleroderma, with the main manifestations at the moment being Raynaud's, Gastroesophageal reflux disease, and itchy skin on my arms and legs. I take omeprazole for the GERD, which is working well. The Raynaud's symptoms

Alternatives from Adalat Retard

My Grandma has been on Adalat retard 20mg for a very long time to manage her blood pressure. Since it’s been discontinued her doctors has been haphazard with finding her a new solution. She has symptoms with Nifedipress 20mg. Has anyone had a better transition from retard? If so which tablet?

Can I stop taking Lercanidipine

A couple of years ago I was prescribed Adalat, not for BP as my BP was always low, but for Raynauds Phenomenom in my feet. It caused Fluid retention in my legs and face so I stopped taking it as I could manage an attack and as summer was coming,less attacks anyway. BP and Raynauds were fine. The only

Update on Nifedipine

Hi all, Thank you to everyone who responded to my previous post. Just to clarify it’s the Bayer Adalat Nifedipine that is no longer available. I’ve now been prescribed Coracten which is another brand of Nifedipine. They don,t do the 5mg ones so I’m on the 20mg moderate release so hopefully they will

Adalat 🤔

So I was on them for 8 months and no issues, was able to exercise and walk miles. Then developed headaches and doctor took me off them and said no one is on them now, there are better ones to take, was put on bisoprolol and can no longer take them. Advised by a different doctor to go back on adalat -

Raynauds medication.

Hello, I hope this finds you all well. I started Adalat two weeks ago and have been mostly ok. I've had an increase in headaches, flushes and urination. Hoping with time on them things would improve. I take 5mg three times a day. The whitening of my fingers has indeed decreased, but the rate they go

Drug availability

Hello all Just wondering if there's anyone who has also had problems getting nifedipine(Adalat) ?. It's such a common blood pressure pill that I'm surprised there are manufacture problems for it!. My GP surgery has put me on a substitute Adalat retard until they can get the original one again. Anyone

Getting help from GP? - what questions to ask?

Please can someone give me advice so I can help my mum. She is 84 years old and had her parathyroids out about 14 years ago and has really struggled with her health since. I think that my mum feels she doesn't have the knowledge or 'power' to challenge her GP's with their treatment of her condition
