Raynauds disease

Anyone else got it?

 

Such a pain in the arse, the minute it starts getting a little colder and my fingers become icicles. It gets to where I can hardly type or do my zip. There's no "cure" as such, it's just gloves and heat pads/bands. The worst thing is when you're walking around don't realise your fingers are turning blue and then have the painful process of warming them up to the point you can actually use them again.

 

The worst case for me was walking around the town about ten years ago, I was wrapped up, wearing gloves, lock-stock, the fucking lot. It was only when I'd tried to take my gloves off to pay for something that I realised I couldn't. Mate had to peel my gloves off revealing a colour chart where my hands once were. from normal, to grey, to salmon pink, to pallored, to purple, to blue.

 

It was the first time it'd ever been that bad so I ended up buying two Greggs sausage rolls and tightly hold one in each hand inside my pockets. Ended up burning my hands.

 

don't know what bothered me more, the blisters of the wasted sausage rolls... :icon_lol:

Primarily a female disease isn't it you big gayer?

 

Have you considered nifedipine?

I know this sounds daft but I don't like taking drugs to manage something like this, I'd rather just wear a pair of gloves. I mean fair enough for something that needs prescription drugs, but I'm wary of pharmaceuticals.

 

Don't they reckon this is linked to Diabetes too?

On one hand (pardon the pun ;) ) you're moaning about what a pain in the arse it is but on the other you won't take medication to help cure the problem. Yes, that sounds daft to me :icon_lol:

Knifedapenis should do the trick.

It's like taking anadin when you've got a hangover though. Or supplements instead of proper food...

 

Like I said, I know it sounds daft, but if the only benefit would be pain relief, I'd rather wear a pair of gloves. At least I know the long term side effects of glove wearing are safe :icon_lol:

Not sure about diabetes. It can be secondary to an underlying disorder in which case you should see a specialist, probably isn't though.

 

In this case I don't blame you for not wanting to take nifedipine. It's got canny nasty side effects. I guess it just depends on how bad and frequent your Raynauds is. But other than keeping warm, there's not a lot else you can do. Might be worth looking up these guys, I think they sell specialized hand warming devices - www.raynauds.org.uk.

Nifedipine is used to prevent attacks, not for symptom relief. If you don't take a painkiller for a headache you're a dick btw. ;)

Even if the short term effect is category five burns.

Looks like eating more fish could help, Also amping up the Vitamin C & E in my diet.

 

Cheers Renton, for once this place is a source of useful information and not simply pushing me towards spiralling depression :icon_lol:

 

p.s. if you take painkillers for a hangover, you're a dick by the way

So you'd rather self-righteously sit there with a bad head? To what benefit exactly :icon_lol:

not about being self-righteous you knobber. I just don't really want to take drugs to offset the effects of drugs I've previously taken... Especially when I know the headaches are shortlived and it's my own damned fault anyway.

 

I mean if I've got a proper headache then I'll pop an aspirin, but a hangover... it's self inflicted.
