Does anyone suffering from Raynauds and Scleroderma have headaches caused by the cold weather?
Since the arctic weather conditions that have been sweeping across the country I have been suffering from bad headaches......At first I thought I had a head cold......but I have noticed every time I leave the house in the bitter freezing cold I end up complaining of headache across my forehead, around

I have had Raynauds for 20 years and never taken medication (my choice) Raynauds really affecting me now.
G.P suggesting to repalce existing dose of Adalat 30mg with Nifedipine to use for my high blood pressure and the Raynauds . I have researched Nifedipine and is described as Adalat.. So I am rather confused. I do read blogs etc on this site so maybe someone could shine some light on my confusion.

Hi all, I have been on Nifedipine 30mg one a day for a few years now without a problem but recently after approx 3 hours of taking
it I start to feel jittery. I know its not sugar levels and wonder if it is a blood pressure drop from the tablets. Anyone else have this and why after years without a problem?

And the waiting continues..
Saw my favourite GP today. You know why she is my favourite? She actually turns away from her PC, moves closer to you and listens to what you want to say & asks you questions. Other GPs at the practice have a horrible habit of continually looking at their computer screen and click away as you try to

Back to GP...again....
Still waiting for my appointment to come through since my referral to the Royal Free. Meanwhile it's so difficult to get to see a GP of my choice and I have to wait weeks sometimes so I give up and have an appointment with someone else which turns out to be a complete waste of time. Grrrr. I had a blister

I get Raynauds in my hands . I've tried Losartan but it made no difference and am wondering if nifedipine would help.
I read Sandycharlie's post and it seems a lot of people take it with success. What dose do you need to take and are there any side effects? Am 52 years old and get Raynauds all year round - usual symptoms - white fingers, pain and pins and needles etc. but fortunately no ulcers - any suggestions?

Skin rashes & large blister appearing overnight
After recent blood tests and years of various symptoms my GP has finally referred me to the Royal Free (just waiting for appointment to come through) after my Raynaud's has gone into overdrive and the recent blood test results (in conjunction with my clinical symptoms) indicate Mixed Connective Tissue

Could these images be Livedo? (Sneddons, Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) & Livedo help!)
Hi there. Basically my question is, do the images below look like something that could be related to Sneddons, Antiphospholipid Syndrome or Livedo? Sorry to ask but I'm very confused with my symptoms! Pictures: *Hopefully link now working* https://plus.google.com/photos/110776790922857768864

About to get confirmation that I am suffering from Raynauds
I am having a hard time typing this as the tips of my fingers are protesting at the pain and coldness. Tip of my nose too is starting to join in... See I normally sit with a hot water bottle at work when I'm having to be at the desk typing such that I alternate between typing and warming either the nose

Pain management
How do you cope with the pain, I'm taking Tramodol, ibuprofen and paracetamol for fun and I still can't sleep for long periods as the pain wakes me up all the time. I'm getting desperate for pain relief now, any suggestions please, just started on Nifedipine and got a vascular appointment in 3 days,

Has anyone been prescribed Thymoxamine for Peripheral Circulation?
Hello, I saw a Reumatologist a couple of weeks ago and he has asked my GP to prescribe Thymoxamine for my Peripheral Circulation to help Raynauds mainly in my feet. I have a dry mouth and swallowing difficulties so the Rhumy has referred me to a Gastroenterologist and an ENT specialist. He says he

Amlodipine
Hi - I saw the Rheumatologist today and he has put me on Amlodipine 5mg tablets as I got constant headaches with the Adalat LA and the Nifedipine. Anyone else on the Amlodipine? If so, do you get on ok with them? Thanks Carol
