Hello. I'm 28 year old mother and I have a beautiful little girl who is only 6 years old. She is perfectly healthy and I have no complaints about this but there is one thing I would like find out more about.
You see, this winter, I have noticed that something strange is happening to her fingers and toes after she came back from playing out side. Although, she wears big gloves, her fingers almost turn into blue. I have heard that this is called Raynaud's phenomenon and that there are several possible complications!
Can someone tell me more about it!?

Hello. I know some facts about it because I believe my brother has been diagnosed with it few years back. To me, it hasn’t sounded like it was something serious but later on- doctor convinced me in opposite!
From what I know about it-Raynaud's phenomenon is a condition resulting from poor circulation in the extremity especially fingers and toes. But it can happen on lips and ears also.
If I understood right- all this is caused blood vessels shrinkage under the skin.
These attacks of vasospasm last only for couple of minutes but if they last longer- they could cause serious tissue damage.

A good friend of mine has Raynaud's diease and is on strong medication to control it. She seems to have no problem with it however.
After meeting her i have been slightly worried about how cold my hands and feet can be and apartently, when i went swimming my lips went blue although i wasnt overly cold. (i am often cold when others are not but i put this down to my very lack of body fat.) Is it possible that i have Raynaud's at a lesser degree?

hello,
i read your letter regarding your little girl. now a days science can no longer answer in medical terms the phenomenon that is happening around us. your little girl has a gift, her 2nd dimension portal has opened which we called the third eye. certain things will be happening to her that you would sometimes notice she is talking and playing alone. alot questions coming from her, the moment you noticed the changes took place
