"swollen" hands...water retention?

[Meso_z]

Mine do this too.  I think it may be normal.  But like I told you, I have Raynaud's (Primary) as well.

Maybe someone w/o Raynaud's could perform the above and post the results.

Now I feel better..  

Now, the cold sensitivity... I remember having it from 15-16 yrs old...

Once I was on my bike when I was 15 and all of a sudden without noticind is..I lost sense of my left arm and fell off the bike..stood up and my friend told me "is everything ok?"...my whole arm was numb....like dead and I remember that I couldnt speak..my tongue got numb for seconds...I just did "blah blah" couldnt talk...it all started from there i think. minutes after this i was ok. That day was VERY cold.

Im still frightened when i recall it.. maybe it was a stroke?

I was always the kid that had to go sit in the car and warm up while snow sledding.

I used to get hives a lot when I got cold.  Face, knees, hands, feet, butt etc.  Not sure about your whole arm going numb though.

Sometimes I get cold feet and hands and/or face changes colour when I eat.

I im having an appointment with a doc this week..

Also Im considering giving some blood as I have high hematocrit levels...it might eases the symptoms..Im going to try and see.

What about CoQ10 Butterbean, is it useful enough for circulation issues or doesnt do sh#t?

I found this stuff to be very helpful in the winter with the Reynaud's



Standard Process isn't a brand you want to go around experimenting with.  Practitioners are trained and have tools to correctly dose their products based on symptoms.  It's a holistic approach.

It might be helpful to find a medical professional who is certified to sell Standard Process rather than a "run of the mill" M.D.

The only product of theirs I’ve tried is Ligaplex ii; that was quite a while ago.
I purchased it through a chiropractor who was treating me at the time, and I was not impressed with it.

I would never make a blanket statement about a company based on one experience with one product, but at the same time, I’m not eager to try anything else from them until I learn & KNOW more it.

It sounds as though you’ve had good luck, so I may consult you on this in the future.

He diagnosed me with raynauds..

He has me do some blood work and get back to him next week..no prescription drugs given to me.

Fuck my life.
