I have primary Raynauds. It is not an effect of hypo but is another condition

that is autoimmune in nature. What I have is the disease itself. People that

have secondary Raynauds have it as an effect, not the cause. Since my ferritin

is up and am on over 3 grains of thyroiod meds, it is much better. My fingers

haven't turned almost black when I am upset or cold in a while. Just a white

and red, There is lots of info on the net about it, but no real effective

treatment they say. Just keep hands and feet warm. By the way, I also have it on

my nose!

Ever heard of Raynauds Syndrome?

I was diagnosed today with this weird thing. Its a circulatory

problem in my fingers and toes. Very weird. I asked the podiatrist

if it could be thyroid related, and he said he didnt know... I

looked it up, and it is related (or can be) to hypo. Anyone know

much about this? I have been having totally bizarre things going on,

and frankly, it always seems to come back to being hypo. I want to

scream, but I dont have the energy, it would turn into a loud yawn.

My Dad used to tell my brother that when they were passing out

brains, he must have gotten in the wrong line. I think when they

were passing out normal health, I GOT IN THE WRONG LINE!

i think you were responding to me? but yes, I have seen Raynaud's listed as

a symptom of hypo. and I know other hypo person (not on this forum) who also

has the diagnosis of Raynaud's. so I wonder if folks who have it...are always

hypo?

Cold hands and feet are not the same as Raynauds. It is a spasm of the blood

vessels that cuts OFF all circulation which can cause you to lose the digits.

ya know....what i would think about this after reading your info about

it....is that when doctors have diagnosed raynauds (and mentioned it as a hypo

symptom)...it's just one more example of a misdiagnosis where hypo is concerned.

instead of rightly knowing that a person has cold hands from hypo...they

diagnose them with raynauds. does that make sense?

My father has it, and I've had the symptoms - they're better now

that my thyroid is being taken care of and I've quit smoking. Avoid

the cold, wear mits instead of gloves, and if you smoke, quit!

Yeah, I quit smoking and used to smoke 4 packs a day. I lived in AK when I was

dxed. They thought I had diabetes because I had the severe sores that come from

lack of blood supply. It was finally dxed by a rhuem Dr because they deal with

autoimmune diseases. Strange, I wasn't tested or dxed for Hashi for another 10

years. Now that I am in CA, my nose is most affected with the cold. Stress

still is a major trigger for an attack on my hands and feet. They say of the

people that have primary, only 1% get nose issues. Figures I would be one.

You sound like my mother, Jamy - she ended up winning the autoimmune

Reminds me of the movie " Unbreakable " .

OA ???? I am lucky I guess. When I found my biological mother it seems that

MS and RA run in the family, but luckily I didn't get those

One has nothing to do with the other except if you were hypo it would make the

symptoms worse but Raynalds is not a thyroid issue. Pople say when they have

cold hands that they have Raynalds. It is not cold hands, It is a severe painful

spasm that cuts of blood supply. Amputations are common!
