MDJunction to me

jenniferdiva"MDJunction has been just an amazing support for me. The people who are on mdj are so nice! Unlike the many other support sites that I have been on. I have made several friends on mdj who are so supportive and so educated about mental illness. Of course non of us are doctors, but we certainly offer each other hugs, opinions, and advice. I have learned a great deal from my friends on mdjunction. I am also encouraging other people who suffer from mental illness to come on to MDJ. It can be a life line." (jenniferdiva)

About 2 months ago I was told that I had Raynauds (mine effects my feet).

My doctor put me in Verapamil and that seemed to really been doing the trick up until a few days ago.

The best way to describe it is like when your hands or feet get really cold after you have stood outside on a day when the temps were below freezing.

They are to the point of hurting.

Weird thing is when I touch them they don't really feel that cold to the touch.

I was wondering if it might be the Lyme coming out more.

I am newly diagnosed, so I don't know if it has any relation to that or if it might just be coincidence. Ermm

I have had feet that feel like ice for months..Sometimes they feel cold on the outside,but sometimes not cold to touch,just feel like there is ice running thru my viens.

It can be a painfully freezing sensation,awful!

I have Raynauds. I have it in my hands and feet, but it is way worse in my feet. It was one of my first symptoms of Lyme.
