A Raynaud’s attack can be a very uncomfortable, possibly painful, process. It can also make everyday tasks, like buttoning a jacket or unzipping a purse, very difficult. Raynaud’s symptoms generally affect the fingers and toes, but all extremities can be involved, including the hands, feet, ears, nose, lips, tongue and nipples.
Raynaud’s symptoms are:
- a colour change in the extremities such as hands or feet
- cold extremities and numbness
- tingling or pain
People with Raynaud’s syndrome can get medication from the doctors to help with symptoms such as Calcium channel blockers.
There is no cure for Raynaud;s but the condition can be managed with diet, exercise, medication and prevention methods such as thermals and gloves
