Nifedipine/blood pressure
it’s been a long time since I posted . I do however read other people’s stories and I think the conversations are amazing with so much advice been given thus encouraging people to often be able to advocate for themselves with the medics. I was diagnosed in 2015 but like many others believe the Scleroderma

Has anyone been prescribed Fluoxetine for Raynaud's?
I have taken 4mg of Lacidipine for Raynaud's for several years. Nifedipine caused bad headaches so Lacidipine was prescribed instead. I don't get full blown 3 phase Raynaud's attacks these days but my fingers are often blue for long periods of time despite being in a warm environment and my feet suffer

Secondary Raynauds , haemorrhaged capillaries near fingernails
I've had secondary raynauds for about 3 years, diagnosed by nailfold capillaroscopy and thermology (just told bluntly that my capillaries are abnormal) I've had all sorts of issues from it like poor/distorted nail growth, white fingers when cold and red puffy fingers when warm, chillblains, red skin

Raynaud's without colour changes
Hello, my hands are very sensitive to cold weather and temperatures. This has been going on for years and I do take Nifedipine, except during summer, to ease the symptoms. However, I have never had my fingers or toes change colour ever. They just feel cold. Is this really Raynaud's? I've told my

Reducing Nifedipine dose for the warmer months?
I am on 20mg x 2 daily Nifedipine for secondary Raynauds, I started in the Autumn last year. I know I need to consult my Rheumatologist about this but wondered if others do the same ? Now the weather is warming up, I'm finding it's very easy to go into overheat mode, in that my hands start to swell

Raynauds and Nifedipine
This last winter I suffered terribly with the cold. All my life I have suffered with Raynauds Syndrome and winters have always been difficult for me with regards to my extremities (fingers, toes and nose) being cold and often painful. Even in summer having warm feet and toes has been a rare occurence

Raynaud’s syndrome
In the past couple of years this condition is affecting me more and more. I’ve been prescribed Nifedipine - with the option to take 3 times a day but I’m wary of effect on my liver. I would be grateful for any thoughts on the matter
