Raynaud disease (RAY-noz) is a vascular disorder. Raynaud’s is a condition in which the blood supply to the extremities,usually the fingers and toes, but sometimes also the ears and nose, is interrupted. This disorder is characterised by episodic attacks, called vasospastic attacks, that cause the blood vessels in the fingers and toes to constrict. Raynaud’s syndrome can occur on its own, or it can be secondary to another condition such as scleroderma or lupus. Raynaud’s disease occurs more frequently in women than in men. Although it can occur at any age. It is estimated that 4 – 5% of the United States population is affected.

It normally begins between the ages of 15 and 40. Raynaud’s syndrome appears to be more popular in folk who survive in colder climates.

Raynaud’s Phenomenon is too known as Secondary Raynaud’s and is a circumstance frequently associated with autoimmune diseases.

Connective tissue disorders such as scleroderma, systemic lupus, polymyositis, Sjogren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. RP is the initial symptom of 70% of patients with scleroderma, a skin and joint disease. Other rheumatic diseases frequently associated with RP include systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjogren’s syndrome. Common Raynaud’s disease symptoms include color changes in the skin and numbness and pain due to the decreased flow of blood. A tingling feeling, swelling and pain may occur as circulation improves.

Raynaud’s Phenomenon could damage your rind and the tender connective tissues in the stricken region. Raynaud’s attacks may impact one or two fingers or toes and the stricken digits can be distinct every moment. Even though Raynaud’s Phenomenon is not a living threatening disease, serious cases induce impairment and attacks may rise more serious. Supplementary Rutin along with Bilberry and Horse Chestnut are all excellent long-term treatments vital to improve the condition of the blood vessel walls and thus the efficiency of the circulation generally.
