I have the same experience,
 I use niacin 6,000 mg per day and 6,000 mg of Cayenne pepper 90,000 HU 
(heating units) each. 
Also I use 1,000 mg of Ginkgo Bilobo per day all the dose are split in  1/2 am 
and pm .  I would suggest working up to this amount, 
and the no flush niacin is less irritating, but I take the normal flush kind 
and like it...It works for me.  I am in my 8th year doing this , 
with great results.

  Ernie:



  I have been pained with the problem for 20 some years. There doesn't seem to 
be a safe way of eliminating the problem. A lot of years ago I took a medicine 
that was supposed to help. It merely made my pulse and BP rise. I didn't feel 
any relief from the cold. I just buy and wear better gloves and good socks.   I 
just try to stay warm...............I live in central Illinois. :-)

  I'm going on to 72 years young in March. I guess I've proved one can live 
with the problem.

  There seems to be Raynaud's phenomenon and Raynaud's syndrom. Either, if the 
Insurance Companys get wind of it........one can be slighted for getting 
insurance.

  But being on Medicare............I don't care in my case.
