MDJunction to me

neshama48"Having Crohn's Disease for over 26 years, in the first few years, it lonely and isolating.
Though now my disease is in a near perfect remission, my friends and family are sympathetic to me, but I can not talk to them about this disease. When I stumbled across MD Junction, and met others who had the same disease I was not alone in battling the disease. MD Junction is like a second family, without the judgement or guilt of having Crohn's Disease, but they do give you love and support.

Anyone else have this? The thumb and index finger on both hand are constantly cold to the touch, numb and have started to turn blue/grey.(like I've smeared them with cheap newsprint) They also sometimes burn like I have them on a hot stove burner.

They don't stay this way all the time, just enough to worry me. I see the doc again tomorrow and plan to ask him about it, but was curious if anyone else had experienced this?

I had that pop up with me a couple weeks before I ended up in the hospital. I had these purple spots on my fingers and they would go numb and cold. The meds seemed to clear it up while in the hospital though.
