Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 > Hi Aletha, Raynaud's Disease is no circulation in your fingertips and in your feet, not necessarily at the same time, when any part of your body gets cold. When this happens it is quite painful and you can actually see it as this area becomes very white (as there is no circulation). The only recourse is to heat the affected area by manually massaging the infected area or running hot water until circulation comes back. That is Raynaud's- The only > From: " Aletha Wittmann " <Aletha@...> > Date: 2006/01/28 Sat PM 08:51:15 EST > <low dose naltrexone > > Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] Raynaud's Disease > > Hi , What is Raynaud's?

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I found this of Raynaud's syndrome: Rae Overview Raynaud's syndrome is a painful condition usually affecting the hands and feet. A few with the condition may develop another rheumatoligical condition in the future and this may be predicted using various tests. Treatment includes preventative care, medications and, rarely, surgery. What is Raynaud's syndrome? Raynaud's syndrome is due to poor circulation, usually in the hands and feet, although may affect the nose, tongue or ears. The tiny blood vessels in the affected area close down, supplying very little blood to the extremities. Numbness results and on warming, the area may throb painfully. When Raynaud's syndrome occurs alone it is known as primary Raynaud's; when it occurs with another related condition it is known as secondary Raynaud's syndrome. Raynaud's can be a useful predictor of autoimmune rheumatic disease. How common is Raynaud's? Raynaud's syndrome occurs in up to 5% of typical healthy populations. Over 90% of patients with Raynaud's phenomenon are female and under 25 years of age when they first develop the syndrome. Up to 5% of patients presenting with the condition eventually develop an autoimmune rheumatic disease.
