anyone with raynauds or know anything about it

[pinkkoala]

have been told by docs that may have raynauds, i went with symptoms in my hands and toes, they turn white and shrivelled up then go blue and numb.

i have never heard of it before.

Any other symptoms? When did it start happening? How old is he? Predominantly right side?

Tinker- he has had this since childhood- just like his reynauds, probably about aged 11. Same on both sides AFAIK.

It was just something I was looking at earlier about a different condition which said sudden laughter/sneezing etc could trigger an attack. Just idly thinking aloud

oh- what condition?
He also has had problems this year with his hands/wrists, and they are investigating the bits of the arm where the nerves go through (can't rememebr the name, I'm sorry- 39 weeks pg, and brain has gone!) as they think the nerve bundles may be inflamed, and too tight in the 'holes' IYSWIM.

Is that neuralgia? Carpal tunnel? No, this was a condition someone I know had which I think your husband would know about - lots of really head-splitting headaches, complete numbness all the time in hands, especially right hand

Nope- no headaches!

The specialist cannot find what is wrong with DH unfortunately. Electrical tests didn't prove anything, so they might think it's just overwork (he is a programmer).
