Raynaud's Disease Support Group

Yes Ive been on Norvasc for a few yrs Boy does it help!!! I developed a hole in my nose, its worse than Lupus, but the Norvasc did help, I still have alot of trouble but Im not as cold and my feet arent as blue Good Luck

? hole in your nose? why is that? is that a nasal spray? I have too much condition already..have lupus too I don't like additional sacrifices from disease...or etc.
too much..=(

I have tried Calan, Norvasc, and Nitro-Gel, all with little success. Hope to see what others on here are using as well.

i take verapamil, it works but not like i would like it to

I was put on procardia, a low dose of blood pressure medication. It gave me bad headache so I opted to not take anything.

Medications take long term do damage to kidneys and liver so being 44 and having many more years to live I'd rather not take medications and have worse things happen later in life.

I work really hard to limit all the chemicals I take, or bring into my home.
We are living in a toxic soup and our bodies are already attacking our organs so put more toxins and chemicals in our bodies.

oh and i for got 81mg baby asprin

Was diagnosed with Reynaud's by my GP this morning and have been prescribed Nifedipine. (The small pink tablet was something of a challenge to my manhood). ;o)

Anyone used this tablet before? The list of possible side effects is a bit scary.

SORRY, HON I CAN'T HELP U. BUT I'M SURE SOMEONE WILL COME ALONG AND HELP YA. GOOD LUCK!

I take Norvasc and it does help. been on it for about 6 hrs but you have to remember its a blood pressure medication.. their is no special medicine for it but ways to keep it under control. I have a heated pool and swim every day. that helps alot plus I walk a mile a day.

I aaaaaaaam taking a Bp pill which is helping. hugs
