I sympathize with those of you who have this.. My mom had Raynauds...
 
great article!
babs102010-05-17 07:58:08My Mom's good friend Edith has Raynauds. She is the one that i previously mentioned of having Raynauds and refusing to take Viagra because it is a "sex drug". Oh boy, old people and their ways of thinking. Another story that I've previously told about my Aunt that was dying of stomach cancer and was in great pain but refused narcotics because she didn't want to become addicted.

Lynn, thanks for the article. I'm still hoping my Raynauds bout was due to the heart medication as I have not had another episode since.

Lev, Edith's story is a hoot! Reminds me of when DH's grandmother was so furious with his grandfather for buying condoms (*French Ticklers*)at age 84 in our small town's only drugstore. She just knew the whole town would know they were having s-e-x! The angrier she got, the faster the rocking chair went.    I don't know what he was thinking, but I bet that was the end of the s-e-x.
