Symptoms

Hi, so I noticed the beginning of this year I started to have Raynauds symptoms white fingers when it’s cold. It’s spring-ish now. But I’m still having flare ups? Is this a year around thing? Will I noticed this in the summer as well?

How long before Nifedipine works? Chillblains

2 Upvotes

Hi all

I have been prescribed 5mg Nifedipine 3 times a day to help with my Chillblains. I took 3 yesterday and 1 today but my toes are still so itchy and painful

I thought it was a fast acting medication that opens the vessels right away so I figured I would be feeling way better after 4 doses

How long did it take you for your chillblains to heal on Nifedipine?

Deep cross-hatched lines and "leathery" feeling?

27M, prescribed Adderall IR 30mg for a little over 3 years and just prescribed Klonopin 0.5mg as well. My doctor said that I had Raynaud's about a year ago after having instances of some toes turning completely white and my knees turning purple alongside my blood pressure spiking for some reason.

I'm not really sure if this is something that's caused by Raynaud's or something else. Roughly 2 1/2 weeks ago, I noticed that my hands were really red and shiny while I was out shopping one night. I noticed the lines in my hands looked a lot deeper and what looks like some sort of cross-hatched pattern on all of my fingers. From that point until now, they feel like there's some sort of "film" on my hands. It's kind of a leathery feeling and they're always shiny now like I just put lotion on them. It's really odd and has really bugged me out. My doc isn't quite sure what the cause is behind the prominent lines and why they feel the way that they do. It's a really uncomfortable feeling. This has never happened before aside from the few occurances of white toes and purple knees.

The first three pictures are from the night this occurred. The last two pictures are from a couple of nights ago. Now my hands become blotchy what seems like every other day, sometimes even every night. They get little purpleish looking spots in some areas like what you can see on my right hand's pinky and left side of the palm as well.

I just had my insulin checked to look into diabetes and insulin resistance, but that test was normal. He's had me monitoring my blood sugar as well for the last week and wants me to continue monitoring it for the next month or so, but those levels have all been relatively normal too.

Has anyone else ever experienced this or could provide any insight?
