Raynaud's Question

[lighthouse33]

Hope this is okay to post here. There is a possibility that my dad has Raynaud's.  Don't know what medication he was given but he has to take it three times  a day.  Was wondering if anyone here who has it knows how long it takes the medication to start working?  He will see the neurologist tomorrow to start the testing.  Still think that he has Sjogren's along with whatever else is going on.

Posting here is just fine.  You might get more answers here than under "Skin" topic. 

I wish I knew what to tell you about your Dad, but I'm waiting for Friday to talk to my rheumy about "possible" Raynauds myself. 

I hope your Dad does well on the medication.  It is truly a painful disease if left untreated.

His medication is procardia.
