Raynaud’s Syndrome, also known as Raynaud’s Disease or Raynaud’s Phenomenon, is a circulatory problem that affects 28 million Americans and most don’t even know they have it. According to the Raynaud’s Association, the disease is named after a French doctor, Maurice Raynaud, who recognized the condition in 1862. This disease causes blood vessels to narrow and restrict blood flow to various extremities, most often when a person is cold or stressed. Reduced blood flow can cause fingers or toes to turn white or blue. Ears and noses are also frequently affected by a spasm in the blood vessels. In severe cases of interrupted blood flow to the extremities, people can develop sores or ulcers on their fingers and even infections. There aremany misconceptions surrounding Raynaud’s disease, but continued medical research has provided increased awareness and insight into its causes, treatment and proper diagnosis.
People with Raynaud’s Syndrome refer to the loss of blood to their fingers as an “attack.” These attacks can last anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. Raynaud’s sufferers find their fingers turn white if the temperature drops below 70 degrees. As their fingers warm back up they experience pain.
If you have or think you have Raynaud’s Syndrome, consult with your doctor for blood tests to determine if it is the primary or secondary form. A cure has not been discovered and it is often unclear what causes the Raynaud’s Phenomenon, but lifestyle changes can help you manage the pain.Learn how FIBREHEAT® self-heating gloves provide relief from painful Raynaud’s symptoms.
There is a primary and secondary form of Raynaud’s Syndrome. The primary form is usually genetic and often first affects young women in their teens and early 20’s. The secondary form of Raynaud’s Disease tends to affect individuals 35 and older with associated autoimmune diseases. Individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition that results in numbness and pain in one or both hands when pressure is placed on the median nerve, can also be more susceptible to Raynaud episodes. Third, some medications, prescription or over-the-counter have been known to trigger Raynaud’s symptoms.
Raynaud attacks are usually triggered by environmental conditions likecold outdoor temperatures, picking up a cold glass, reaching into a refrigerator or freezer, orsitting in air-conditioned buildings. Emotional conditions such as stress may also be a trigger.
