Does anyone have Raynauds syndrome in addition to their MS? I just started calcium channel blockers/ blood pressure meds and blood thinners to help with Raynauds. Does anything else help it?
I have had reynauds for over 25 years. Way before I found out I had MS. I try to wear socks as much as I can and when my body is over heating from the MS my cold hands come in handy. Lol. I have never tried in medication.
my feet are worse than my hands....and, boy! do they hurt :( my husband bought my a cozy heating pad designed for your feet (you can slip your feet into a pocket built into the pad) ... it feels good!
Mine just started this winter also. Both hands. I try anything warm. Car heater, warm water, hair dryer. They say to try and prevent hands/feet from getting to cold but when you have gloves shoes and socks on not much else you can do if you're not around a heat source. It does hurt. I feel for everyone who has it. According to my Neurologist it's "not generally a symptom of MS but yet look how many of us have it
Just started this winter with the cold ,numb, and painful fingerTips. Neuro appt 3/31 so will discuss it then. I heard Gabapentin might help. I use anything warm ie. Warm water, hair dryer...to get them to stop hurting.
I also have Reynauds, my mom also had it, so Dr is not sure if it is from her or MS
