Raynaud's Phenomenon & MS
In the past couple years I have been having issues with my fingers going completely numb & turning white when the get cold. It has gotten worse over the past year & I finally went to my Dr & she told me it is called Raynaud's Phenomenon or syndrome. She said she see it in people with auto immune diseases like MS & Lupus etc ... I'm just currious if anyone else with MS has dealt with this issue????

My daughter was diagnosed with Raynaud's syndrome about one year ago. Her GP told her that it would not be MS related. Three months ago my daughter went to Stanford to be tested by Dr. Dake (she had not previously been diagnosed with MS). Dr. Dake found a stenosis in the right jugular vein and lesions on the brain which were indicative of MS.

I have never been diagnosed with or considered Reynaud's syndrome, but when it gets below about 65 degrees Fahrenheit, I get numb hands. They do not turn white though. I also have an inner cold when it goes below that ambient temperature, and this has been reported by quite a few others here.
Oh yes, and I have CCSVI/MS.

hi folks,
raynaud's is caused by blood vessels spasming, constricting blood flow. mineral status has a lot to do with how much people suffer from different types of spasticity - so try loading up on a good multimineral. you may find it has numerous other benefits too.
ask NHE, he noticed that after he started taking multimineral supplement with calcium, magnesium and zinc for his MS, that his raynaud's cleared up. coincidence? maybe.
survey: who here has raynaud's, and is taking 1000mg calcium, 500mg magnesium, and 50mg zinc daily?

well as far as i know, NHE does not take such high amounts as i listed above, but his went away even at lower doses.
probably diff ppl get it for different reasons. or, it was adding those minerals in combination with something else he was doing that made the difference.
NHE, chime in here if you spot this - what's the rest of your regimen?

Raynaud’s syndrom is strongly associated with scleroderma and lupus. Not with MS. I have a purple–red–blue–white kind of discoloration of my hands, but it’s nothing like Raynaud’s syndrom.
