I'm only 31 and I'm afraid I might lose my toes, feet and fingers. My feet look like something you would see in a movie with all the purple veins in them, they look worse everyday I wake up. I'm not in bad shape at all, I ride my bicycle to the store, I walk a lot at work and carry ladders and I'm always fixing something. I'm thinking it is Multiple Sclerosis with secondary Raynaud's disease. I'm not 100% sure that is what I have but the symptoms match up very good and my sister has a form of MS called Myotonic dystrophy. She is 41 and has been in a nursing home for about 5 years. I'm going to the neurologist on April 6th to see what more testing I need. If that is what it is then eventually I won't be able to do my job, ride my motorcycle or work on my Firebird, I will finish it even if I have to pay someone to do it! Less than 12 months until the house is paid off and I will get started on it.

The most common early symptoms of MS include:

* Tingling GOT IT
* Numbness GOT IT
* Loss of balance GOT IT
* Weakness in one or more limbs GOT IT
* Blurred or double vision DON'T HAVE IT

Less common symptoms of MS may include:

* Slurred speech GOT IT
* Sudden onset of paralysis DON'T HAVE IT
* Lack of coordination GOT IT
* Cognitive difficulties GOT IT


Raynaud's disease symptoms:

* Turn pale or white and then blue GOT IT
* Feel numb, cold, or painful GOT IT
* Turn red, throb, tingle, burn, or feel numb as blood flow returns to the affected areas GOT IT

Raynaud's attacks usually affect the fingers and toes. Rarely, the attacks affect the nose, ears, nipples, or lips.
Severe cases of secondary Raynaud's can cause skin sores or gangrene. "Gangrene" refers to the death or decay of body tissues. Fortunately, severe Raynaud's is rare. If you have primary or secondary Raynaud's, cold temperatures or stressful emotions can trigger “Raynaud's attacks.” During an attack, little or no blood flows to affected body parts.

Sounds like fun combined with the way my job has been going. There are a few other things going on but I'm not sure if they are even related or if I'm reading into them too much.
