Living With Raynaud's Disease

Primary and secondary Raynaud's are conditions that may be lifelong. Most people with primary Raynaud's respond to simple lifestyle changes or medicines. Such treatment is not always as successful in secondary Raynaud's. If you have secondary Raynaud's, you may find that in time your medicines are less effective and your attacks become more frequent and/or more severe. Switching to a new treatment may help relieve or prevent your symptoms. Be sure to seek a doctor's care if you develop sores on your fingers or toes or elsewhere on the body.
