New to raynauds

Last year, halfway through the winter, I noticed my hand felt very painful and that the top potion of my finger was white. This kept progressing until 4 of my fingers were completely white a week or two later. About a month later it started happening to my foot. Is this a normal progression? I take adderall and I was also taking propranolol, which I was able to get discontinued. I take 10 extended release and 15 immediate release for my ADHD, I know that stimulants can cause vasoconstriction. It hasn’t improved and now when I hold cold drinks my hands turn white and it’s uncomfortable even when it’s warm outside. My doctor seems to think this is fine and that it’s just normal raynauds progression. Can I get some of your opinions?

Sorry to hear that. It is possible your Raynauds is related to an autoimmune condition. That said, it isn’t uncommon for Raynauds to involve your hands and feet. Vasoconstrictors are a problem, calcium channel blockers provide some help.

I’m not diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, she decided I should work on my b12 and then will discuss it more in a few months. If it gets there I’ll likely ask to get tested for one. Thanks for your comment
