Strange sensations

Does anyone else with Raynauds & Limited Systemic Sclerosis experience this?

I can only describe it as a fizzy sensation in the large vein that runs from the thumb up the side of the wrist of my hand. The vein had become very prominent.

I'm unable to take Nifedipine & waiting for a prescription for Adalat La 3 mg just prescribed by my Rhummy.

I get this but it happens when I'm anxious. I've just learned to calm down and breathe deeply to relax me.

Adalat is nifedipine.

Adalat LA tablets are a 'long-acting' or 'prolonged-release' form of nifedipine. They are designed to release the nifedipine slowly and continuously over 24 hours, producing a steady blood level of the medicine throughout the day.

Adalat is the preferred form recommended by the association since it tends to have fewer instances of the reaction that users report when on standard Nigedipine, or so I've been lead to believe.

Yes, I have the same thing accompanied by tingling and loss of balance. This is usually caused by anxiety, but I have noticed that the cold is a large factor as I have nice people helping me off the floor when I fall. Staying indoors is a good plan.

I find that Adalat gives me muscle pain, but Nifedepine is fine.
