Hey there! I hope everyone is having a good weekend!
I had a question about whether Raynauds must be accompanied by pain, otherwise it is not Raynauds? I notice my hands are blue when I get out of the shower and when i walk into the grocery store with all the refrigeration (from outside in florida is a big temperature decrease). Anyhoo, I kind of assumed it was what I'd read about- Raynauds. My mom had an appt with her rheumatologist (for osteoarthritis) and she showed her my blood work results. She suggested I find another rheum bc I should be monitored more often than annually. My mom also showed her a picture on my hands and asked about that and she said if it doesn't hurt, it isn't Raynauds. It does sometimes give a prickly feeling as they return to normal color, but not usually. I wish I could post a picture. Maybe my hands just turn blue bc they're really cold
But also an update on finding a rheumatologist. The rheum to whom my primary care dr originally referred me (and with whom I was scheduled in January bc the wait is that long) called bc I was on the cancellation list and a spot became available in about 2 weeks. This rheumatologist has a solid background and fantastic reviews across various websites. Plus, obviously my dr thinks he's good. So really looking forward to a do-over
Take care!
