> Well, I went in to my local doc-in-the-box for what I thought was a foot fungus and came out with a Dx for Raynaurd's (plus athlete's foot). WTF. A side effect of strattera. A call to my pdoc and am advised to stay on the starttera until I see him in Jan., go to my primary, (again, and for what--for him to look at me like I'm a sad-specimen hypochondriac middle-aged--o.k. kinda' past middle aged woman?), and we'll see about the strattera then.

> fb---flutterby: Well, I've had Raynauds my whole life. Even as a child if I went out in below freezing weather I'd be in so much pain in my feet and hands-- I swore there were needles under my nails. :o(
When I was late teens early twenties my toes turned purple when wearing high heels so I couldn't wear them often and that made me feel like a fish out of water in the work place.I think for me, it was the trauma that I went through from a baby until adult-- no studies have been done that I know of -- but I bet if there was a study done they'd find that a person can be so triggered with hypervigilence by life that they even shut their own circulation down.
I wish I could just stop taking a pill and it would go away........ I have yet to get it to abate. freezing hands and feet.... turning purple without blood flow.... not fun-- I feel for you. Hope you can find a way to counteract it.
best to youflutterby
