We want to explain as much as possible about the condition. However, we cannot hope to answer all your questions. Everyone with this disorder is different and this booklet is not intended to replace an individual consultation with a doctor. We start out by explaining what this condition is. We go on to say something about other conditions which Raynaud's can be associated with, how these can be checked out, and what can be done to help. What is Raynaud's phenomenon? If you have Raynaud's phenomenon your hands, and sometimes your feet, change colour when exposed to cold conditions. Typically the hands go white, then blue, and then red as follows: White: as the blood supply to the fingers is reduced Blue: as the blood in the fingers becomes short of oxygen, and finally...

Cold Hands and Raynaud's Phenomenon Raynaud's phenomenon causes cool fingers (and sometimes cool toes and other body parts). The cause is not known in most cases. The usual treatment is to keep warm. Medicines or other treatments are sometimes needed. What is Raynaud's? Raynaud's phenomenon, usually just called Raynaud's, is a condition where the small blood vessels of the fingers narrow (constrict). It is named after Maurice Raynaud, the man who first described it in 1862. What are the symptoms of Raynaud's? About 1 in 10 people have bouts of Raynaud's. A typical bout is as follows. At first the fingers and go white and cool. This happens because the small blood vessels in the fingers narrow (constrict). The fingers then go a bluish colour. This happens because the oxygen is used up quickly from the blood in the narrowed blood vessels. The fingers then going bright red. This happens because blood vessels open up again (dilate) and the blood flow returns. This may cause tingling, throbbing, numbness, and pain. Many people with Raynauds do not have the full classic colour changes, but develop bouts of uncomfortable, pale, cold fingers. Only the fingers are affected in most cases. In some cases the toes are also affected. Less commonly other 'extremeties' of the body are affected such as the earlobes, nose, nipples, or tongue. Each bout of symptoms can last from minutes to hours.

Raynaud's Phenomenon can exist as a primary condition or in congruence with an underlying disease. Approximately 85% to 95% of patients with scleroderma and mixed connective tissue disease, plus one-third of patients with lupus, suffer with Raynaud's Phenomenon. The blood vessels in the fingers and toes are most commonly affected by Raynaud's Phenomenon. It is possible for the ear lobes, lips, and nose to also be affected. During "vasospastic" attacks of Raynaud's, the blood vessels in the affected area constrict. Attacks are often triggered by exposure to cold or by emotional stress. The resulting decreased blood supply caused by the vasospasm can cause skin discoloration and intense pain.

Raynaud's Phenomenon In this disorder, which most often affects women, the small blood vessels of the hand contract temporarily, causing the skin to change color from white to blue to red and to feel cooler. A person with this disorder may also experience numbness and tingling. This constriction of the blood vessels is thought to be due to an exaggerated reaction to cold or stress. Treatment is aimed at reducing factors which contribute to blood vessel constriction in order to reduce attacks and sometimes the use of medication.

When I got there they told me I had raynauds. It feels like your hand falls asleep or your feet. As I have gotten older I have learned that the cold brings on episodes. I moved to Hawaii and ever since i moved here i have not had any problem. The only problem I have now is being watched for lupus which is a liver deases that is known to follow in the footsteps of raynauds.It cause body aches every once and a while but nothing that I can;t handle.

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Raynaud's disease Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Raynaud's disease refers to a disorder in which the fingers or toes (digits) suddenly experience decreased blood circulation. It is characterized by repeated episodes of color changes of the skin of digits on cold exposure or emotional stress Description Raynaud's disease can be classified as one of two types: primary (or idiopathic) and secondary (also called Raynaud's phenomenon). Primary Raynaud's disease has no predisposing factor, is more mild, and causes fewer complications. About half of all cases of Raynaud's disease are of this type. Women are five times more likely than men to develop primary Raynaud's disease. The average age of diagnosis is between 20 and 40 years. Approximately three out of ten people with primary Raynaud's disease eventually progress to secondary Raynaud's disease after diagnosis. About 15% of individuals improve. Secondary Raynaud's disease is the same as primary Raynaud's disease, but occurs in individuals with a predisposing factor, usually a form of collagen vascular disease. What is typically identified as primary Raynaud's is later identified as secondary once a predisposing disease is diagnosed. This occurs in approximately 30% of patients. As a result, the secondary type is often more complicated and severe, and is more likely to worsen. Several related conditions that predispose persons to secondary Raynaud's disease include scleroderma systemic lupus erythematosus rheumatoid arthritis and

It has been estimated that some 10 per cent of women suffer from Raynaud's. Some 95 per cent of scleroderma patients suffer from Raynaud's, but it must be stressed that only a small number of people with Raynaud's go on to develop scleroderma. The key feature of Raynaud's is colour changes associated with exposure to cold or any change in temperature. These changes occur most commonly in the hands, but may also affect the feet and occasionally other extremities, such as the nose or the tips of the ears. Raynaud's hands turn white, then blue, then later red as the circulation improves. In severe Raynaud's there may be considerable pain, ulceration or gangrene. Raynaud's can occur in children, although it is rare. The symptoms are the same as those of the adult disease.

'TO BEGIN with, I just felt extremely cold in my hands, feet and ears,' says Aileen McGregor, who has suffered from severe Raynaud's phenomenon for more than 20 years. 'I would wake at night absolutely freezing, despite having an electric blanket and hot water bottles, as well as extra heating on. And the pain in my hands and feet was excruciating. 'These days, I find it's sudden changes of temperature that bring on an attack - I always have to have the heating on full blast, even in summer. Otherwise I can easily be caught out, and find myself gradually getting colder. I think it must be like that for people going into hypothermia, just finding yourself gradually losing concentration.'

99. Raynaud Raynaud s phenomenon (Cold Hands). Most people with Raynaud s phenomenon or the less severe similar conditions manage with the above tips. http://www.fromemedicalpractice.co.uk/patientinfo/r/raynaud.htm

Raynaud's Phenomenon (Cold Hands) Many people experience cold hands, fingers and toes in cool conditions. In some people this can be more severe and uncomfortable. In 1862 a doctor called Maurice Raynaud first described the more severe cases. Raynaud`s 'phenomenon' classically consists of fingers (and/or toes) at first going very pale and cool (due to the blood vessels going into spasm) then going a 'bluish' colour (due to all the oxygen being used up from the blood) and then going bright red (due to the blood vessels opening up again and the return of the blood flow). The tips of the nose, tongue and earlobes may also be affected. Many people do not have the full classic colour changes but still develop uncomfortable, pale, cold fingers and toes in cool conditions. Women are affected nine times more often than men. What causes it? The blood vessels in susceptible people appear to be very sensitive to changes in temperature. They tighten and constrict (go into spasm) causing a reduced blood flow. Sometimes Raynaud`s phenomenon is associated with other diseases affecting blood vessels, joints or skin. Other symptoms would then be present e.g. pains in joints and rashes etc. However, most people with Raynaud`s phenomenon do not have these other problems. What can be done?
