Raynaud's phenomenon..?
Question:
Also what is the difference between pirmary and secondary ? tnks...
Answers:
Superficial research doesn't suggest a link between Reynaud's and any eye problem, nor low blood pressure (which is what you have when you feel faint). Reynaud's is often the first presenting symptom to a host of related illnesses, all more life-changing or serious than Reynaud's, which may not be diagnosed for 20 years or more after the onset of primary Reynaud's, but having primary Reynaud's doesn't mean you'll get anything more.
Apparently there are many forms of treatment, plus a few lifestyle changes (smoking and birth control or other hormone evaluation) which have positive effects. A biggie is avoiding triggers like cold and excessive vibration.
Primary Reynaud's is the circulatory problem presenting as the only symptom. Secondary Reynaud's (aka Reynaud's Syndrome) is the symptoms occurring as part of another disease and usually doesn't happen in those under 35.
primary would be just the toes and fingers and face that you are experiencing
seconary would be , that you also have scleroderma, lupus etc
if you check out the arthritis site, it will give you alot of info, that perhaps would be helpful.
