Extractions: Reprinted July 1993 What is Raynaud's phenomenon? Raynaud's phenomenon is a disorder of the small blood vessels that feed the skin. During an attack of Raynaud's, these arteries contract briefly, limiting blood flow. This is called a vasospasm. Deprived of the blood's oxygen, the skin first turns white then blue. The skin turns red as the arteries relax and blood flows again. Extremities hands and feet are most commonly affected, but Raynaud's can attack other areas such as the nose and ears. What are the symptoms? Symptoms include changes in skin color (white to blue to red) and skin temperature (the affected area feels cooler). Usually there is no pain, but it is common for the affected area to feel numb or prickly, as if it has fallen asleep. What causes Raynaud's? Doctors do not completely understand the cause of Raynaud's, but they believe the body's blood vessels overreact to cold. When the body is exposed to cold, the hands and feet lose heat rapidly. To conserve heat, the body reduces the amount of blood flowing to these areas by narrowing the small arteries that supply them with blood. In persons with Raynaud's, these small blood vessels overrespond to cold. For example, reaching into a refrigerator may trigger an attack. Cold temperatures are more likely to provoke an attack when the individual is physically or emotionally stressed. For some persons, exposure to cold is not even necessary; stress alone causes vessels to narrow.

http://www.raysahelian.com/raynauds.html

Extractions: Raynaud's disease is caused by spasm of arteries leading to cold hands and feet. Although most typically noted in the fingers, the circulation of the toes, ears, nose and tongue is also frequently affected. RP can be triggered by cold weather, cold water, or emotional stress. Several names are used interchangeably by the layperson, including Raynaud's syndrome, Raynaud's phenomenon, and Raynaud's disease. However, doctors have a stricter terminology. Raynaud's disease is now called primary or idiopathic Raynaud's phenomenon, and Raynaud's syndrome is now called secondary Raynaud's phenomenon. The most common cause of secondary RP is a connective tissue disease (particularly scleroderma). Medical treatment usually encompasses calcium channel blockers which lead to a slight improvement in the frequency and severity of attacks. Calcium-channel blockers are the most widely used, for instance nifedipine 30 mg up to 60 mg daily. Alternatively, sympatholytic agent (prazosin), angiotensin II -receptor type I antagonist (losartan), selective sertonin-reuptake inhibitor (fluoxetine) may be useful. In the severe cases the role of prostaglandins is well established, but standard therapeutic protocols are not yet available.

This condition can begin at any age, but usually begins between ages 15 and 40.

Extractions: Raynaud's Phenomenon Definition Spasm of fingers during a Raynaud's attack Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is a condition resulting in discoloration of the fingers and/or the toes when the patient is exposed to changes in temperature (cold or hot) or emotional events. Skin discoloration occurs because an abnormal spasm of the blood vessels results in a diminished blood supply. Initially, the digit(s) involved turn white because of diminished blood supply. The digit(s) then turn blue because of prolonged lack of oxygen. Finally, the blood vessels reopen, causing a local "flushing" phenomenon, which turns the digit(s) red. This three-phase color sequence (white to blue to red), most often upon exposure to cold temperature, is characteristic of RP. What Causes Raynaud's?

Search for related products... What is Raynaud's phenomenon? Raynaud's phenomenon is a condition in which the smallest arteries that bring blood to the fingers or toes constrict (go into spasm) when exposed to cold or as the result of emotional upset. Working with vibrating machinery or smoking cigarettes also can bring on these episodes. The small veins are usually open, so the blood drains out of the capillaries , and the fingers or toes become pale, cold and numb. If there's a spasm in the small veins and blood is trapped in the capillaries, the fingers or toes turn blue as the blood loses its oxygen.

It is characterized by digital blanching, cyanosis(blue), a feeling of numbness or dulled sensory response and rubor (red) after cold exposure and rewarming. It can also be induced by anxiety or stress. This condition is primarily confined to the fingers and toes but can affect areas of the body such as your nose, cheeks, ears and even tongue. Primary Raynaud's phenomenon is also called Raynaud's disease. Criteria for Raynaud's disease include episodic digital ischemia (sequence of color changes in the skin in response to cold or stress), a numb, prickly feeling or stinging pain upon warming or relief of stress, absence of arterial occlusion, bilateral distribution, absence of symptoms or signs of other diseases that also cause Raynaud's phenomenon, and duration of symptoms for 2 years or longer. Most people with Raynaud's disease develop symptoms before they reach 40 years of age. It can occur in young children. Raynaud's disease affects women three to five times more frequently than men.

Extractions: Episodes of vasospasm (constriction of small arteries) of the digits. It is characterized by digital blanching, cyanosis (blue), a feeling of numbness or dulled sensory response and rubor (red) after cold exposure and rewarming. It can also be induced by anxiety or stress. This condition is primarily confined to the fingers and toes but can affect areas of the body such as your nose, cheeks, ears and even tongue. Blanching (digits turn white) represents the ischemic (lack of adequate blood flow) phase of the phenomenon, caused by digital artery vasospasm. Cyanosis (digits turn blue) results from deoxygenated blood in capillaries and small veins. Hyperemic phase (digits regain coloring, looking flushed) upon rewarming and resolution of the digital vasospasm, the digits may appear red. Primary Raynaud's phenomenon is also called Raynaud's disease. Criteria for Raynaud's disease include episodic digital ischemia (sequence of color changes in the skin in response to cold or stress), a numb, prickly feeling or stinging pain upon warming or relief of stress, absence of arterial occlusion, bilateral distribution, absence of symptoms or signs of other diseases that also cause Raynaud's phenomenon, and duration of symptoms for 2 years or longer. Most people with Raynaud's disease develop symptoms before they reach 40 years of age. It can occur in young children. Raynaud's disease affects women three to five times more frequently than men.

Extractions: [This message has been edited by Ann S (edited 01-15-2001).] Ann S 01-27-2001, 07:50 AM Hi, thanks for the response. Since my last post, I have been diagnosed with secondary Raynauds because my blood test for connective tissue disorder was positive. They did further blood tests to determine which one, but they were negative. I'm being referred on to a rheumatologist with the hopes that he can figure out what connective tissue disorder I have. The waiting is killing me cause my symptoms seem to be getting worse. I now have open sores on my gums, my arm hurts all the way to my elbow sometimes(can't just be carpal tunnel that high), and a few spots on my arm where it looks like my capillaries(sp?) have burst. Also, things on my face or hands won't heal. I have a small paper cut on my finger that is 2 weeks old and it still looks like the day after I cut it. Any more help would be appreciated. Ann
