Fucken allergic to cold mine is dark purple

[einat1622]

In my case the hands turn purple/blue in the cold- and then change to red in warm water.

[cartoongalaxy]

Ive got this as well

[ace8842]

I have a moderate case of this secondarily through fibromyalgia. Noticed especially during massages when my feet and hands were ice cold but the rest of me was warm.

[maniconympho]

Great video. I also have Raynaud's and wrote an article about Raynaud's and 'Ways to Warm Up'. I used your video as an example of how cool & warm water affects people with this disorder.  Here's my article - thanks for the video! squidoo.com/31-ways-to-warm-up­-raynaud

[SHELLEY8211964]

my havds have been doing thins for a few days now :(

[BlackLabelFREAK]

your allergic to cold

[WorldisArt]

I've got Raynaud's too! I'm always just like "dammit, my fingers went all derp on me again..."... warm water is the way to go for sure. I can help it out by putting them on my body or in front of a heater, but it's a lot faster to use water because of its high rate of heat transfer.

[TheSmiffNWesson]

I love this ..I have it and i live right outside philly thinking of moving south for the warm weather..I have diffused Schleraderma too anyone have any advice?? Love and God bless to all!!

[AlwaysRainsOnTheHero]

"Bid my blood to run".. haha perfect song choice. I have Raynauds.. sitting with a hot water bottle, cup of tea, slippers a jumper and a panda hat atm! =/

[xXxDOPxXx]

Learning medicine while listening to Evanescence... Perfect. I've never seen it in my career but i never thought it was so evident. Thanks for uploading

[petinimor]

I remember I was on holidays in France when it first happened to me! I was totally freaked when I saw my finger! It's never too bad with me though I can just feel my toes going numb in school on cold days but I wear tights to school so I can't exactly take em off and stick it under a tap lol! I'm always sort of fascinated when it happens though!

[paynetrain12345]

Your hands are as bad as mine. Have you found a way to stop it during the winter or cold seasons and weather? The only thing i got is to wait until the blood returns. 

[H3kticGaming]

My fingers do this. I dont have a severe case though. It just sucks during football season :/

[atar212]

It does hurt a bit and sting when the blood returns to the fingers. Raynaud's in my feet is much more painful, but the pain does go away when they warm up (Usually in about 15 minutes).

[TheVishu27]

Is this painful?

[CrescentStarBunnyGal]

my middle finger seems to be numb the longest too

[JazyGirl26]

my feet do this :(

[rozzerqwer]

ive had this since before i can remember, i get it once a day, the worst its been was when it went to my wrists, there is no cure its genetic, gingko biloba leaf helps apparently but i cant be arsed buying the stuff so i just get on with it...over the years my hands have turned into rocks a little scolding water fells like fresh air after what my hands have been through :D

[FixedByDoc]

ouchies that must really suck to go through.

[frankcoffee]

I heard 2000 mg of vitamin C dilates blood vessels.

[missdahliamurder]

I have this :(, whats the name of song?

[TheElement328]

Figured out i have this two days ago...I'm only 13 and I only get the attacks in my feet so far...

[maddie2k11]

@TheElement328 mine started way before that im 15 and its quite bad. if i was you id start doing more exercise and other thing to improve your curculation cos it can get bad speaking for experance.

[blobvision]

Bad song. bad disease.

[Silvialoveskittiesmw]

=[ when my hands are too warm they sting

[maddash33]

Interesting presentation! I got this today for the first time and it scared the sh** out of me. Had never heard of it. Probably since it doesn't usually get as cold in Texas as today.

[billsbulletsandbeans]

Thank for the video. I have CREST and use you video to explain raynauds to my family. I know that must have been PAIFUL

[atar212]

Meine Finger drehen lila auch. Sehen Sie sich diese Webseite raynauds.org Es gibt gute Informationen auf dieser Website. Viele Menschen mit Raynaud sehen ihren Arzt um Hilfe. Viel Glück



[kokora15]

Bei mir is es schlimmer... und wen blut wieder reinfließt wirds dann dunkelblau/ Lila ^^ Kann mir PLS jemand sagen was ich dagegen unternehmen kann ??

=)

[FuckYou19XX]

ihh wie bei mir nur bei mir kann es ewig dauern bis sie wieder normal werden manchmal sind sie schon dunkelblau bis lila

[3liteX]

its weird my hands don't go white they just go from skin tone to slowly red or purple?

[3liteX]

its weird my hands dont go white they just go from skin tone to slowly red/purple?

[justjessicajane]

I got diagnosed with Raynauds Disease today :( its so painful, and people just don't take it seriously. i work in a place where there are some heated areas and then freezers and chillers, so its hell for my circulation x

[Tayuya12611]

@justjessicajane Okay so yesterday my hands turned blueish purple but they didn't hurt at all I was outside,wasn't wearing gloves or a thick coat and this happened.. do you think I might have raynaud's or is it just that i didn't have enough circulation to my hands? please help!

[justjessicajane]

@Tayuya12611 -- I wouldn't like to 'diagnose' you as I am not a medic in any way, I'm just going off my own experience... Personally, when my hands get like this, it's very painful :( my hands tend to go completely white, then they turn blue and when the blood is properly circulating again my fingers swell slightly and are red/purple in colour... The best thing you can do is go to a doctor just to make sure. There's no cure for Raynauds, but there are plenty of preventative measures.

[atar212]

I always use lukewarm water and make sure it touches my palm before it reaches my fingers. Can't feel my fingers and don't want to scald them....

Raynaud's disease is a vascular disorder that causes intermittent interruption of blood flow to the extremities. See your doctor right away if you have a history of severe Raynaud's and develop an ulcer or infection in one of your affected fingers or toes.

[thenightcrusader]

i have the same problem but if i try to warm it up by using hot water, it starts hurting like a bitch later on when the swelling starts.

[LaurenM001]

I have this too. Don't your hands HURT when they get like that?? My hands are so painful when they get cold, I can't stand it. No idea why I'm living in MINNESOTA!!! LOL! Even with mittens my fingers (and toes) freeze all the time. De-frosting the freezer is TORTURE.

[Tayuya12611]

@LaurenM001

I live in Minnesota too! it's torture,

I'm definitely moving to Arizona when I get older lol !!

[andyjee86]

lol, all too familiar. bet your fingers were tingling like crazy towards the end.

[2FLii2FrEsH4Yu]

i have raynauds syndrome.Ieven a supermaket is too cold for me.Try to refrain further iirritation to the hands. Tasks of dishwashing is not good. My hands change color with each season. I no longer can work an outside job. Take Care of you hands.

[priscibisbi]

GOD!!! I thought I was the only freak in the world!!!!

I´m not alone LOL

I suffer the same thing... I hate it while I am driving, so I drive with one hand on the wheel and the other back in my neck LOL

[kangniton]

@atar212 you can take Calcium channel blocker- for vasodilation. Ask your doctor for prescription, and keep your hands warm, wear gloves.

[frannyward]

I have the same thing. So does my Son. Wear gloves.

[priscibisbi]

@frannyward In my case, gloves are even worst... it's like they keep my hands colder.. so I have to put the gloves while my hands are still warm.

[propanobend]

I don't get it quite as bad as that. I once put my hand in boiling water when my fingers were white and I could feel my blood boiling. Worst feeling ever.

[fux]

is there something else u can do except keep the fingers warm? medicine for example?

[kangniton]

@fux yes, u can take Calcium channel blocker. ask your dr. for prescription.

[Isto27nerI]

i have that sink.

[Obsidian1392]

anyone know the difference between ray disease and phenomenon?

[barefootfoof]

@Obsidian1392 The phenomenon, also known as Reynaud's syndrome, is caused from a variety of other health issues, while the disease has no cause or cure. To be sure it is not the syndrome, one must undergo a series of tests, (quite a few vials of blood need to be drawn, might I add,) to indicate that there are no known underlying illnesses that would cause such a phenomenon. Speaking from experience, I'm glad to have the disease, rather than the syndrome. :P

[kangniton]

@Obsidian1392 disease is the primary disease, while phenomenon is secondary to something else, mostly autoimmune disease like Systemic Lupus Erythmatous 

[anna2344]

I have this aswell and my hands are cold 24/7, when this happens if I'm not near a tap, I just shake my hands lol

[AlomTeleVision]

hi what kind of medicine take for this Disease ?

[Obsidian1392]

@AlomTeleVision it's incurable

[barefootfoof]

@AlomTeleVision There is no medicine. Just gotta keep warm, avoid heavily air-conditioned places, and wear a hat, scarf, and gloves everywhere.

[suehowie]

Just diagnosed with this myself, and this is exactly what I do. It's so freaky!B

[lamamideSean]

It is Raynaud's Disease, avoid cold temperatures.

[enjoythesilence29]

I spend my life in the sink and it is not fun.

[daniele1988pt]

cool

[aquarianbabe]

a friend of mine was just diagnosed with this and she didn't really say much else other than that her fingertips get numb in cold weather and turn blue. Her's is apparently life-threatening. It may be secondary to her cervical cancer.

[tigreletigre]

we are learning about this condition in my nursing class, great video!
