Thanks. Just one more thing I may have to deal with. When I get to feeling sorry for myself I just look around and there are many other people in worse shape than I am. We just have to be strong. Hard yes. But we can do it. We have each other to lean on and that is the most wonderful gift we can give each other.

I have Raynauds and it can be very painful. My fingers will begin to tingle and then become numb and turn blue or white. This will happen to my while I am either in my car just sitting there as a passenger or at work. It is painful, I can feel it coming on and then all of a sudden your fingers are completely numb and blue.

I have to rub my fingers together to get the circulation flowing. Very frustrating.

I have this! My fingers turn purple and are ice cold, along with my feet clear up to my ankles turn blotchy purple then completely purple. It's uncomfortable sometimes, but for the most part it's just a PIA. My husband and I laugh because I also have edema and I say "I'm turning Violet, Violet!" lol
