Subscribe now >> Raynaud's Phenomenon What Is Raynaud's Phenomenon? Raynaud's phenomenon is a disorder that affects the blood vessels in the fingers, toes, ears, and nose. This disorder is characterized by episodic attacks, called vasospastic attacks, that cause the blood vessels in the digits (fingers and toes) to constrict (narrow). Although estimates vary, recent surveys show that Raynaud's phenomenon may affect 5 to 10 percent of the general population in the United States. Women are more likely than men to have the disorder. Raynaud's phenomenon appears to be more common in people who live in colder climates. However, people with the disorder who live in milder climates may have more attacks during periods of colder weather. What Happens During an Attack?

Go Back Nutrition for a Living Planet - Home Page Raynauds Phenomenon Raynaud's Phenomenon is a Disorder of the small blood vessels that feed the skin. During an attack of Raynaud's, these arteries contract briefly, limiting blood flow. This is called a vasospasm. Deprived of the blood's oxygen, the skin first turns white then blue. The skin turns red as the arteries relax and blood flows again. Extremitieshands and feetare most commonly affected, but Raynaud's can attack other areas such as the nose and ears. Doctors classify Raynaud's phenomenon as either the primary or the secondary form. In medical literature, "primary Raynaud's phenomenon" may also be called Raynaud's disease, idiopathic Raynaud's phenomenon, or primary Raynaud's syndrome. The terms idiopathic and primary both mean that the cause is unknown. Most people who have Raynaud's phenomenon have the primary form (the milder version). A person who has primary Raynaud's phenomenon has no underlying disease or associated medical problems. More women than men are affected, and approximately 75 percent of all cases are diagnosed in women who are between 15 and 40 years old, but anyone can have the problem. It is not known for sure how many people suffer from these symptoms, but Raynaud's is a common problem. People who have only vasospastic attacks for several years, without involvement of other body systems or organs, rarely have or will develop a secondary disease (that is, a connective tissue disorder such as scleroderma) later. Several researchers who studied people who appeared to have primary Raynaud's phenomenon over long periods of time found that less than 9 percent of these people developed a secondary disease.

Raynauds Phenomenon Dear Reflexology Rex... Could you tell my WHY reflexology is helpful for Raynaud's? I am also considering TFT therapy, thinking clearing the meridians might be helpful. Is that the thinking behind the reflexology? WHAT IS THE EXPLANATION FROM A REFLEXOLOGY STANDPOINT FOR WHAT CAUSES THE PHENOMENON? Dear Judy......Raynaud's Phenomenon is caused by spasms in the capillaries causing temporary lack of circulation usually to the hands and feet. Reflexology helps the circulation in general. I do not think that it can fix this condition. One of my students has Raynauds and during the course which lasted six months her fingers showed some improvement due to the regularity of the sessions. It seems that the episodes were not as severe as before. Perhaps the reason for this improvement is due to the general "toning up" of the entire system. Good luck!

Another name for this disease is progressive systemic sclerosis. Severe fibrosis and alterations of small blood vessels are among its pathologic features. Many of the diverse clinical manifestations in this disease are represented on radiographs as atrophy and calcification of soft tissue and bone resorption. Frequently the abnormalities predominate in the phalanges of the hand, although diffuse subcutaneous calcification, widespread periarticular calcification, and bone resorption are encountered at other sites, such as the mandible, the ribs and the clavicles. Joint alterations include erosive arthritis and intra-articular calcific collections. Scleroderma has frequently been difficult to differentiate from other disorders associated with induration of the skin. Among the conditions with similar features are

Raynaud's Phenomenon Disease is a blood disorder that effects the extremities and restricts the blood flow to the hands, feet, ears, and nose. It is an onset to lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and pulmonary hypertension. My hands and feet would actually turn white, become numb and hurt. Then they would turn purple/black. It was very painful to move them. For more years than I can remember, I could no be in the cold, or be in the air conditioning. It even hurt to walk through the frozen food section of the grocery store or make hamburger patties. I would have to sleep with socks on my hands and feet, and I would have an electric blanket many times to keep my head covered.

Home Patient Resources Scleroderma Information Sheets Scleroderma Lupus Information Sheets Raynaud's Phenomenon What is it? Raynaud's phenomenon is the name given to the temporary interruption of blood supply to the fingers or toes (though occasionally the ears and nose can also be affected), which occurs as a result of spasm of the arteries bringing the blood to the fingers etc. It is characterised by a series of changes in the colour of the skin. Typically the finger initially becomes white as blood supply is lost, then blue or dusky, and finally pink as blood flow improves and eventually returns to normal. The sequence is of variable duration and can last from minutes to hours. Why is it called that? It is named after the French physician Maurice Raynaud who in 1862 was the first to describe the process and give an explanation for it. Around 5% of the population and up to 20% of women at some time in their life are said to have had an episode of Raynaud's. Some disorders however specifically predispose to the problem. While these conditions are rare, they are important to identify because they are likely to need specific treatment. Included among these disorders are systemic lupus erythematosous (SLE) and scleroderma, where over 90% of patients experience Raynaud's attacks. The "white finger" of chain saw operators is an example of an occupation-related disorder. The arterial spasm which as has been mentioned, is the initial phase of an episode of Raynaud's is most commonly triggered by cold, though emotional upset, the use of some vibrating tools, and certain drugs (including caffeine and cigarettes) can also do this.

Home Patient Resources Scleroderma Information Sheets Scleroderma Lupus Information Sheets Raynaud's Phenomenon Handy Hints Here is a collection of hints that have been collected from many different sources, many of them may be helpful to you in trying to prevent attacks of Raynaud's from occurring. The following tips can help you prevent getting chilled: Always wear a hat : It is true that you lose a lot of heat through the top of your head. Covering the head helps to keep the whole body warm by preventing heat from escaping. Dress warmly : Layers of loose clothes trap warm air around your body. Cotton socks worn over wool socks help keep the feet warm and dry. Mittens are warmer than gloves because the fingers keep each other warm. Tight gloves can cut off blood circulation in the fingers. Don't get wet : As water on the skin evaporates, it cools the skin - just the opposite of what you want. Cover up exposed skin : If it is very cold and windy, putting a scarf across your nose and cheeks will protect them and help you breathe better. If you are so cold that it hurts, get inside. The pain in your body is a warning signal. Remember Try to avoid changes in temperature - remember a change in temperature is even more likely to bring on an attack than just being in the cold. Do not sit in draughts.
