Treat Raynaud's Disease

What is Raynaud’s?

Raynaud’s (ray-NODES) is a disorder of the small blood vessels of the extremities, reducing blood flow. When exposed to cold, the blood vessels go into spasms, which may cause pain, numbness, throbbing and tingling. Emotional distress may also trigger such a response. The fingers are usually the primary affected areas, although toes, nose, ears and other extremities may be involved. In a typical case, fingers turn from white or blue (or both) within minutes of cold exposure then become red when they warm up. These color changes, which may vary from person to person, are an exaggeration of a normal response to cold exposure. A normal cold response in the hands is a blotchy red and white pattern. Raynaud’s-type color changes are distinctively different.

Approximately 5-10 percent of all Americans suffer from Raynaud’s, but only one out of ten sufferers seek treatment. Both men and women suffer from Raynaud’s, but women are nine times more likely to be affected. Some researchers estimate as many as 20% of all women in their childbearing years have Raynaud’s.

What one Raynauds Suffer Has Experienced by Using Triumph

Here are the changes and results I received from using Triumph.

1. It is relieving not to be touching a hot stove or grabbing a pan without a potholder as I could not feel the burn.
2. It is wonderful to be able to button my clothing or put on jewelry without assistance once again.
3. The fear of holding a baby or a puppy has been lifted as I no longer am dropping things all the time. Although my focus remains strong that this may still happen.
4. Being able to now use touch-screen technology, i.e., setting my GPS, or working on my glass-top stove without frustration is a great accomplishment.
5. I am so grateful to have the ability to type on my computer with ease again.
6. This list could go on as you don't think about the everyday things you take for granted until you lose your ability to do them.

I am so grateful for George, my husband, for encouraging me to try Triumph. I no longer check the weather report before accepting an invitation. It has truly been "Life Changing" for me.
