Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: General Update and Beano in the UK?

My circulation problems= I have Raynaud's Syndrome (pronounced Ray-nose) Extreme cold in the hands and feet to the point where I get 'white finger' (fingers are white and numb) and the progressive stages of it are that it can become gangrene. I suffer from this even when the rest of my body is sweating and hot (eg i have to wear wooly gloves when i train in the gym and hiking socks when out and about) I practice most of the self-help; eg taking gingko biloba and garlic, exercise, keeping hands and feet as dry as possible, having to have a heater on my hands/ feet when at home and so forth. Unfortunately, the ultimate 'cure' for Raynaud's is to live within 20 degrees of the equator! I will move abroad one day but for now I continue to suffer the English clime. Winter has properly started for us this week, so even when out shopping im wearing snowboarder jacket/gloves/hat/boots!
I'm afraid I don't know anything about the swelling you are experiencing and sorry I can't offer any adivce in that area
