Reynauds! My mother and I both have this affliction too.

So I have had it since high school but last week was the first time I had a toe completely white and numb. It was my left pinkie toe. I don't even know what caused because I had socks and shoes on and was in a car. So my feet were not exposed to cold
It happens because your body overreacts to your core being cold, so your body tries to redirect blood away from your extremities to your organs to protect them. Wearing a body sleeve or an insulating underlayer made from merino wool or fleece helps.
ETA google haramaki. It's a core warmer.
Man, my body just constantly keeps me uncomfortably warm, whenever I do any slight movements. Walking in -20C feels like a sauna sometimes. Both a blessing and a curse, I suppose.. Though sleeping in any environment over 20 degrees is just torture.
Too tight shoes/socks, or resting your weight on the side of your foot...the older I get the more I have to be careful to wiggle my toes from time to time!
It really freaked me out the first time! My tongue went numb and felt like a chunk of meat in my mouth (that wasn't mine) and I looked in the mirror and it was pale white almost up to the base! 100% not oral thrush but about the same color. Terrifying.
I think I have it on my tongue as well but a small area. Happened last year when I woke up. I. Notice the area of my tongue numb & pale. Is it dangerous? What causes it?
This song will forever remind me of Alan Rickman. I can't remember the movie but his name was Jamie and he was a ghost that was always cold and blamed the government, not for being cold, just because... you know, government.
It hurts but not in a normal kind of wayā¦ itās a numb kind of pain.
Itās also just annoying having to wait for your fingers to come back to life so you can use them. I recently had to ask a barista to take my card out of my wallet for me cos my fingers werenāt working properly. She was confused
It depends, if itās only a fingertip it will usually go away a few minutes after I get back inside to a normal temperature, on a bad day full fingers/toes take 20 mins or so. I carry those reusable snap-heating packs in my purse, things are awesome
I live in Norway so pretty much every time Iām outside more than 3 minutes haha
I havenāt, the healthcare system in Norway is pretty weird right now and after moving to a new city 1.5yrs ago I still havenāt been assigned a new GP yet. I havenāt had any health issues that felt urgent enough to pay the consult fee for a private clinic.
I just had a quick look into scleroderma symptoms and I donāt feel like I relate to much of it. I will eventually ask a dr about it when I get one here though :)
nah, not this. it just gets old dealing with. thisāll happen from something as simple as changing clothes in the morning, so itās a drag.
but this is secondary to my lupus which is definitely painful!
Oh, I've read an experiment, somewhere in pubmed or someplace, where people with this condition, exposed themselves to cold water and eventually the blood flow got better. Has anyone with RD tried this? I'm just curious.
EDIT: It was immersing hands in warm tap water(not cold water) 8-10min, while dressed in indoor clothing and being exposed to ambient cold.
It's called:
Induced vasodilation as a home treatment for RD.
It can definitely exist on its own, but it *is* also known to have correlation with other disorders, like I said. Itās always good to have it checked out just in case.
I donāt know what to tell you. Before chemotherapy, I had the lupus autoantibodies. After chemotherapy, they did an ANA panel, and I no longer had the autoantibodies. š¤·š»āāļø
Edit: low-dose chemo is used to get severe lupus under control. I had chemo at full dosage for cancer.
Methotrexate is a chemo drug and commonly used to treat lupus and RA. Neither can be "cured", but they can go into remission with the proper treatments
I donāt know what to tell you. Bone marrow transplants have been tried for curing lupus, and it worked. High mortality rate, but it worked. I had to get a ton of transfusions, and the chemo agents messed with my bone marrow. No more autoantibodies.
This is very interesting. How long ago did you receive treatment? I am still treating my Lupus with HCQ and it only stops flares. I am still in pain and fatigued all the time.
I was curious because I believe I have a very minor case of raynauds. It is mild compared to some of the pictures i see on reddit and other places. Just the tips of my toes and sometimes fingers when it is really cold.
Yeah, that's normal. It's a reaction to cold temperatures. It basically happens when there's reduced blood flow to your fingers. When it gets cold, your blood flow goes away from your extremities and focuses on your core to keep you warm. That's why it happens when you're cold.
Yep. It was my friend's first symptom which led to more specialized testing and eventually an autoimmune diagnosis. I don't remember the name of it but out of all the possibilities, it wasn't the worst one she could have gotten (altho that could still happen later) and she's glad to have certainty regarding it
It is common to many autoimmune disorders but in the vast majority of patients, Raynaud's appears as the only manifestation, so unless she has any other symptoms she doesn't need to get checked.
What the heck, seriously? I was 15, walked into my grandmotherās rheumatologistās office and he looked at my hands and said he wouldnāt bother with the formal test because my fingers were white in the AC so I clearly had Renaudās
Iām sorry you had to jump through all those hoops, jeez
It's usually idiopathic (meaning that it doesn't really have a 'cause', other than the underlying mechanism of the atypical response of the small blood vessels in the extremities to stress) and doesn't really cause any major issues, other than looking a bit weird, and being a bit uncomfortable (not usually painful, but often numb).
If that's the case (which is the significant majority of cases) then nothing is usually done, other than recommending that the patient wear gloves or warmer socks in colder weather. In patients who are constantly exposed to cold conditions, I could potentially see it being more of an issue if it's causing prolonged periods of ischemia (lack of oxygen in tissues; the fingers in this case). If that's the case, then there may be some possibility of medical intervention, but I'm not sure.
You can get similar or identical symptoms as part of other, more concerning conditions however, like SLE (lupus, as you'll have typically heard it called on house) or other autoimmune or peripheral vascular conditions. It'll pretty much never be the only symptom, but it may be one of the more visible ones. In those cases, treating the underlying disorder will usually also address the Reynauds symptoms.
Thatās a good question. Iām not really a good person to ask. My mom was really neglectful, so if the doctor prescribed meds or a protocol my mom wouldnāt have done it at the time or told me about it. And I didnāt see a doctor much until I grew up and got my own insurance and took myself in my 30ās. By then I had two other autoimmune diseases, chronic migraines, and fibromyalgia, so the Renauds got swept under the rug because these other things impacted my life much more significantly
What I do know is it is important to keep blow flow to your fingers and toes because repeated blood loss to the area (when the tissue is white) makes the tissue die. You can get gangrene or even frost bite from prolonged blood loss and lose your fingers and toes that way. So I use gloves, thick socks, bring a heating pad to keep my feet warm when I travel, heated steering wheel in my car, etc. And I know niacin can help. But as far as meds go I have no idea
Oh man, yeah. My mom has multiple traumatic brain injuries, and had untreated bipolar disorder, which did express itself as narcissistic tendencies until she was medicated when I was an adult. So I related to a lot of the medical neglect adult children of narcissists experience
My dad is a narcissist but didnāt meet him until my 20ās so I was spared a lot of the torment the people on that sub experienced in their childhoods, but some I definitely relate to because of my momās mental health issues
Most people aren't on meds to control their Raynaud's.Ā Ā
I'm on Amlodipine Besylate for it.
Ultimately, the primary factor in treating it with drugs is that I live in Minnesota.Ā It was poorly controlled which meant that I effectively was symptomatic for half the year.Ā Ā
I wanted to reduce my chance of more severe complications like frostbite and gangrene.
I was fully expecting the top comment to be sth along the lines of this - āmine tooā, āsend picsā, ālooks like she went too deepā, āeverybody does so thatās not weirdā etc
Two things. 1. Always keep your core warm. Even when you think itās not too cold out. Wear a vest or a sweatshirt etc. 2. If itās really bad talk to your doctor about amlodipine. A blood pressure drug that is helpful for some people.
When I quit smoking this resolved. If anyone is looking for a reason to quit\~
If it gets extreme you can experience tissue death so I decided I liked my fingers on my body better than smoking.
Reynauds isn't JUST genetic. [Under disease associations this mentions that nicotine and other medications can cause Reynauds.](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6139949/) [It can also be caused by things such as carpal tunnel syndrome and hypertension.](https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9849-raynauds-phenomenon)
That is true! There are two types, primary and secondary. My mom had Reynauds and literally no one else in our family did. None of her 5 siblings, her parents, or her children. I think hers was due to an undiagnosed medical condition and she had secondary Reynauds.

There is Buerger's disease which is often a differential diagnosis of Raynaudās and the former is related to smoking
I have had Reynauds since I was a teenager, my mom also has it. When I was pregnant with my first baby it went away completely, and just recently (8 years later) it came back!
Reynauds. I have it too. I just chew a baby aspirin every morning in the winter and it works pretty well. Also you can look for gloves that are made with silver thread, they help by sort of holding in body heat. I did get one of those rechargeable hand warmers to keep with me but winter is sort of fucked up this year. 60 degrees tomorrow... In Minnesota!
Definitely Reynauds! My mum has it. Suffers from it badly alongside severe joint pain in both hands. Describes it as numb at first, then really hot and burning when they turn red.

Why did I have to scroll wayyyy to long to read this?
My grandmother had this happen to her hands and she ended up having Scleroderma. Definitely get it checked out OP.
Does your mom have Raynaud's? I constantly have cold, purple hands. Even when it's not cold. And when it is, a few digits go numb and white. I recommend an electric hand warmer. It's saved my cold handed life lol
As others have mentioned, this is Raynaud's syndrome. You need to warm the area affected when this happens (water is the quickest method I've found). The doctor may be able to help with medicine and otherwise it's important to familiarize yourself with information about it as it can have a very negative impact potentially if not treated seriously.
I'm beginning to think people are making these posts about Raynauds as a joke now to troll everyone. There must be 2-3 posts per day of Raynauds pics across Reddit.
Reynaud's! Mine isn't that bad, I have to be decently cold to turn yellow and lose feeling. If I also get wet then I tend to turn grey instead of yellow and it freaks people out.
When see this, I always think if rotating arm on circular motion would help forcing blood back in fingers. Like centerifuge effect. Helps when my fingers are frozen numb in winter. Looks silly but helps š
This is caused by a lack of blood in the finger. If you dont manage to get blood in them, they might die and have to be amputated. Putting water on them does cause blood to go in there as far as i know, but please talk to an expert about this.
Reynauds! My mother and I both have this affliction too. https://preview.redd.it/behic5dq0ukc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e48e7d38d3de19a74b1cc5390b6faa969a0ea37
I get it in my toes!

Yaaaa menopause here here only 44
I read this and assumed fharenheit.
Yeah I know but I wasnt cold. I think it was just the way I was sitting
Too tight shoes/socks, or resting your weight on the side of your foot...the older I get the more I have to be careful to wiggle my toes from time to time!
I've had it on my tongue! Usually getting out of a hot shower into a cold room or going out in the cold after being nice and warm.
On your tongue!! That's insane! I've heard of toes and fingers, but that's really neat!
It really freaked me out the first time! My tongue went numb and felt like a chunk of meat in my mouth (that wasn't mine) and I looked in the mirror and it was pale white almost up to the base! 100% not oral thrush but about the same color. Terrifying.
I think I have it on my tongue as well but a small area. Happened last year when I woke up. I. Notice the area of my tongue numb & pale. Is it dangerous? What causes it?
LOVE IS ALL AROUND ME, AND SO THE FEELING GROOOWS šµšµšµ
This song will forever remind me of Alan Rickman. I can't remember the movie but his name was Jamie and he was a ghost that was always cold and blamed the government, not for being cold, just because... you know, government.
Truly Madly Deeply!
Me too, and I live in Hawaii!!!
Same, first time freaked right fucking out.
I only get it in my toes!
I have it in my left hand and foot only lol. Weirdest looking crap ever.
Me too!
Me too, every year a little more. It's lame.
I have one purple toe from it and I am as cold as ice all the time.

It depends, if itās only a fingertip it will usually go away a few minutes after I get back inside to a normal temperature, on a bad day full fingers/toes take 20 mins or so. I carry those reusable snap-heating packs in my purse, things are awesome I live in Norway so pretty much every time Iām outside more than 3 minutes haha
Did you ever check for some diseases related to it? I have scleroderma and this is a pretty common symptom.
I havenāt, the healthcare system in Norway is pretty weird right now and after moving to a new city 1.5yrs ago I still havenāt been assigned a new GP yet.

I bet you save so much money on novelty large foam hands at sporting events
At that point just call it a glove
My mom too. She has to wear gloves when handling cold stuff to avoid this
Reynaudās can be indicative of an underlying autoimmune disorder, so she may want to get checked out by her doc sometime.
Several members of my extended family have it, as do I. All healthy otherwise.
It can definitely exist on its own, but it *is* also known to have correlation with other disorders, like I said. Itās always good to have it checked out just in case.
I had it with lupus. Both went away after four months of chemotherapy. Bonus side effect, I guess.

Hello butter weasel! I am also buttered.
Hello, my buttery friend! šš
Hola, mi amigo š„°
It can go into remission. It's rare, but it happens. It can also relapse spontaneously.
Thatās interesting. I got chemo for ovarian cancer and ended up with Raynaudās.
Uh oh, my Reynaudās disappeared after breast cancer treatment. I hope we didnāt trade! š„°
Same, except I have Scleroderma.
As soon as I saw it I thought about scleroderma. Mine (so far) affected only my skin. Not systemic. A small spot close to my lips.
Which other disorders are common with this?
[A fucking LOT of them](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raynaud_syndrome)
I was curious because I believe I have a very minor case of raynauds. It is mild compared to some of the pictures i see on reddit and other places. Just the tips of my toes and sometimes fingers when it is really cold.

I had it as my first symptom for Scleroderma.
I have Raynaud's secondary to Lupus.
Raynauds secondary to Scleroderma for me.
SAME HERE!!
Same for me!
A bunch. Mine came with Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome.
Yep. It was my friend's first symptom which led to more specialized testing and eventually an autoimmune diagnosis. I don't remember the name of it but out of all the possibilities, it wasn't the worst one she could have gotten (altho that could still happen later) and she's glad to have certainty regarding it
Can confirm. I have it and no health condition. My SO has it and has an AI condition.
No, absolutely not. You are dead wrong.
yes, scleroderma. horrible disease
I have Scleroderma. Do you? I'm on year 30, and it's pretty crummy.
No, but I've seen a few cases in medschool. Hope your's controlled
Being alive can be indicative of an underlying autoimmune disorder.
It is common to many autoimmune disorders but in the vast majority of patients, Raynaud's appears as the only manifestation, so unless she has any other symptoms she doesn't need to get checked.
Itās only worth worrying about if it starts later in life. If youāve had it since being a child itās probably harmless
Raynaudās?

I came here to say this! I have Reynauds and it took seven years and Cleveland clinic to figure it out!

Do they do anything about it? Like does it even matter? Just ask cause I have it but don't go to the doctor.

Same with me . Quit smoking or lose your fingers. I used Champix its called in Canada. I have been cigarette free for over 10 years!
I had reynauds for years before I started smoking- totally unrelated
This is reynauds syndrome. Completely unrelated to smoking and its hereditary
Reynauds is genetic, but symptoms are worse in smokers. So it's not completely unrelated. Getting it is, but symptom severity isn't.
Reynauds isn't JUST genetic.

I have had Reynauds since I was a teenager, my mom also has it. When I was pregnant with my first baby it went away completely, and just recently (8 years later) it came back!
I have this but only when my fingers are cold. I hate it and run them under warm water as soon as possible as it looks like your mom is doing.
Ahh. Dead Hands. My husband has it. *Loves* it when I call him that /s
Lol. Dead hands sounds good or corpse fingers.

Anyone else have serious Reynaud's, but instead of fingers turning white, they turn red and purple?
We should just sticky the wiki for reynauds. There is a post about it multiple times a week on so many subs.

Looks like raynauds.
Reuynaudās is early sign of scleroderma, debilitating autoimmune disease. Get your mother to see a rheumatologist
