Raynaud Syndrome or Disease

[Mr. Ed]

Seemingly I've had Raynaud disease or syndrome for a long time but did not consider cold hands a problem. My acupuncturist put tester on finger to determined blood flow and circulation which was very low. I did not know this was a medical condition and there was a name for it, so now I am being for poor circulation, strangely though after two treatments and the unusually cold temperatures we've had past two days my hands were colder than ever and I had to winter gloves to keep them from hurting.

This can also be a side-effect of diabetes

 

[Mr. Ed]

I don't have diabetes, however, been taking psyche meds since 1975 that possibly contributed to present condition

I have it as well. It's just something that some people have that others don't. I also have a lower than average body temperature. But that's a minor problem. I can take the heat when others can't. So Mr Ed. Can you handle hot summer temperatures more easily than others?

I call all this stuff the Mediterranean condition. If your ancestors grew up in a warm climate that's passed on to the next generations. Don't quote me on that. It's a personal theory.

I have it, and now I am diabetic, sigh.

I can’t handle the heat-heart failure doesn’t react well to the heat even when you run low temperatures. I am usually between “95-97.
