Her primary physician actually did recommend thick gloves or something of the sort but it tends to bother her if it gets too hot or too cold or there is wind, etc. She has stocked up on hand warmers & they do help (so long as they are wrapped in a wash cloth). No cardiac or respiratory issues but she did complete chemotherapy nearly 2 years ago & her body and immune system is just not the same since. As for the white patch, it is just where the tip isn't receiving adequate blood flow. She is seeking out another vascular therapist,but thec pain management is helping her rest much better now.

Glad to hear that my cardiologist is not the only one suggesting this stuff!! He is my godfather and my med school sponsor, so he better be going out of his way, right!!??!! I got your PM back and will send you the stuff tomorrow. I hope it helps her.

That's what she was afraid she was going to hear! She saw her primary, her cancer specialist, and the vascular specialist. It took going to the ER for the term Reynauds to ever crop up. She has scheduled a test to make sure there are no other things that may be causing it such as heart problems or a blockage. After taking a look around google it does seem like there is nothing else causing it.

She finally got herself to the specialist, had scans done, and he found a blockage in her chest (after 4 weeks!). She's scheduled to have a stint put in Thursday. Seems the blockage was throwing plague to her finger. I'm fairly glad she didn't buy the Reynauds diagnosis & visited 5 different doctors, could have been bad! The doc also said he would clean up/possibly pack her finger. Enjoy the newest pic of it.
