For the last 6 months have constant numbness in both feet and on rare occasions have numbness to lips . after visiting GP several times & had a full blood count Ihave been advised that it is Raynauds.  Is it possible to have this continuously I though Raynauds was a temperature related condition

For the last 6 months have constant numbness in both feet and on rare occasions have numbness to lips . after visiting my DR several times & had a full blood count which checked diabetes, thyroid, Vit B12 - all of which were fine.  I have been advised that it is Raynauds.  Is it possible to have this continuously I though Raynauds was a temperature related condition

Please note I have osteo arthritus to both hip joints

TY I did question this with my Dr, and will request referral to neurologist

Thank you for your response, I did query with the GP why she thought it was Raynauds as I have had the condition for 6 months and had spent over 4 months in a warm climate, although it is true to say it feels more uncomfortable when my feet are cold.  I have not had any of the tests you refer to and will make another appointment with my GP

Raynauds can be caused by temperature changes or emotional events!
Has your doctor done any testing on you? (Cold Stimulation Test, Nailfold Capillaroscopy, antinuclear antibody (ANA), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR or "sed rate"), and C-reactive protein (CRP) tests.

Sounds like a nerve condition. Numbness in feet is usually a nerve problem.
