Has anyone else had problems getting hold of Hexopal (Inositol Nicotinate)? I had been taking it for about 15 years with great success. The pharmacy has told me there are `manufacturing problems`. I`m worried that it may have been discontinued. My GP has prescribed Praxilene (Naftidrofuryl Oxolate

Raynauds getting worse and don't know what to do
I was diagnosed with secondary raynauds earlier this year but have been having strong signs and symptoms for about 3 years. Every morning I wake up and my toes look look bruised and white at the same time. Is this normal? My doctor will not give me the nifedipine as I suffer from very low blood pressure

First iloprost infusion
Hello, I have Raynauds and a tentative diagnosis of limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis. I could not tolerate nifedipine; I can tolerate losartan potassium but it does not seem to offer any symptom relief. My rheumatologist has now arranged for me to have iloprost. I am having my first iloprost infusion

Cerebral Vasculitis (mis)diagnosis/RCVS/vasospasms
Nimodipine
can only be immediately found in Mexico and Canada, leading me to develop conspiracy theories about the monopolization of the pharmaceutical industry.

Not been on here for a while as no progress
In spite of gp requesting an urgent follow up appointment with rheumatologist still having to wait till mid October after a wait of 6 months. GP has been unable to get results for my cardio and lung function tests which were done in April. Has been most frustrating as my symptoms have become worse.

Nifedipine and AF, any link?
Hi all, I doubt anyone would know but anyone have any idea if there is any link to AF and a drug called Nifedipine? I was administered a very intensive course of this drug to stop premature labour in Jan weeks before my issues with SVT and AF. None of my consultants or doc's have linked the two. Nifedipine
