Raynauds And Chilblains With Dysautonomia?

[artluvr09]

Ok so a couple years ago I was diagnosed with raynauds. Lately after starting atenolol a month or two ago my toes get really itchy and underneath the toenail it gets red and bumpy. We looked it up and it looks like I am getting chilblains. anyone else get those with dysautnomia? I also have juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and It could also be from that. if anyone else has had these experiences how do you deal with the itching?

Yes! My only advice is to avoid Chilblains. They do heal but it is pretty uncomfortable.

I haven't had them for a few years. I prefer being barefoot but ive learned the hard way- when the temp falls I wear sheepskin boots around my house. I have heat packs I highly recommend socks like smartwool. Right now I'm wearing smartwool socks and winter boots in my living room. Also I have to be careful with handling frozen food.

Also a steroid cream can help them heal faster but long term it's not a good option. They thin the skin over time. My doctor prescribed me a small dose calcium channel blocker. I'm too chicken to take it though.

Vitamin D deficiencies seem to make them worse.

I definitely experience the chilblains in the winter. The only way I've found to cope with it is to start wearing warm socks and really furry slippers!

Hope you find something that helps you,

I have both as well. Yup, warm socks to avoid the chillblains.
