I was just told that my sister has something called rainnoid, or
ringnoid. I do not know and cannot find it online, so I am sure I have
it wrong. If anyone has heard of this or knows anything I could use some
help finding it. It has something to do with appendages, from what I was
told. It is starting in her toes, the turn white one day and purple the
next. I was also told that she can possibly loose her toes, fingers, and
possible all other appendages. I am going to be talking to her tonight,
but I would like to find something that explains it before.

IM SORRY RKW

I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT! CANT BE OF ANY HELP TO YOU!

GOODLUCK!

Thanks Nascar

RKW, are you talking about Reynaud's disease?

If you can get the exact name of the problem, I might be able to find
something. I tried with what you gave and could fnd nothing.

E-mail me if you would like.

excuse me...spelling is Raynaud

rkw best wishes an prayers sent sis's way

thank you all. Jean that helped I knew more than she did. It sounds like
Raynaud disease itself is not as bad as it sounded when I was first
told. It is seriuos and she has a good case of secondary. Still unknown
exactly what caused it, but it sounds like the berth control and blood
preasure meds were definately not good for her.

Again thanks for your help and prayers.
