What Treatment Is Suggested For Raynauds Phenonemom ?
I have high blood pressure 190/84, taken today but I am on medication which has been doubled but I am also suffering with pain in my joints, especially my elbow, wrist and knee s, I have Raynauds phenonenon so suffer from numbness as well, I have had shingles 5 times in the last year and have various new allergies which cause rashes and wheals on my skin when i come in contact with things like cardboard and plastic carrier bags, I get regular headaches and have very blurred vision. (I have an opticians appointment tomorrow) I am also tired all the time, I have a vitimin B12 deficiency which is treated with regular injections. Are all these things liked in any way? I am just so fed up with feeling ill all the time.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Treatment of Reynaud’s phenomenon is focused on prevention. It includes keeping warm and protecting against exposure to cold, stress management, relaxation techniques, avoiding smoking, exercise to increase circulation, etc. Surgery is rarely needed.
As treatment is focused on prevention and medications have least role, I don't think there are any factors contraindicating treatment. Avoiding cold exposure as and much possible prevents Reynaud's disease.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
