At the bottom of this page, you'll find a number of informative links on
Raynaud's (and other problems with similar symptoms),
http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/mom/nipple-blanching.html
including several pieces from JHL, BMJ, LLLI, etc., and a handout by Dr.
Newman, with one of the suggestions being this course of medication:
> Nifedipine. This is a drug used for hypertension. One 30 mg tablet of the slow release formulation once a day often takes away the pain of Raynaud's phenomenon. After two weeks, stop the medication. If pain returns (about 10% of mothers), start it again. After two weeks, stop the medication. If pain returns (a very small number of mothers), start it again. No mothers I am aware of took more than three, two week courses. Side effects are uncommon, but headache may occur.
