Nit sure about anyone else but even after being on the meds I occasionally still get the blanching to white on my fingers. Running warm water over them, then cold helps.

I am a bath nut and soak every night but I use a lot of Epsom salts which seems to help. I also found "floating" where you go into a float tank and it contains 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt and you float for an hour. It is so relaxing and I am now a member so I can float once a month. It reduces stress as your whole body is totally supported. It is called True Rest Flotation Therapy. Love, love, love it! Normally, Dr. Check is right with hot baths but this addition of Epsom salts has helped me so I can continue to enjoy my baths and floats!

I haven't had an issue with them turning white, sometimes mine turn slightly purple and are cold in the winter or red/purple in summer, but it is a possible side effect of Adderall since it is a vasoconstrictor. One time, a stranger on the subway was concerned and told me that my feet were purple.. another time, a friend (not aware of my condition) noticed my feet and thought my shoes were cutting off my circulation.
I have the same issue with crossing my legs, I try to avoid it if I am wearing shorts or a skirt where a mark would be visible. Also, if I have any swelling, crossing my ankles will result in an indent that seems to take forever to go away.
I agree with baths/hot water-- Dr Check told me to stay away from hot tubs because it will make it worse. I got a pedicure a few months ago, and every time I put my feet in the hot water for a few minutes they would get red and a little puffy, then it would go down when I took them out.

Yes I had the blanching so badly on the tips of my fingers and the pain was excruciating. I also learned to run very warm water followed by cold water repeatedly and it helped. I don't get it to that extreme anymore and I am grateful of that. If I cross my legs even for a few moments, the side of my knee became so red that someone in the medical field recently inquired about it. It is those darn vasomotor changes that occur with the disorder. I love my baths and the sides, bottom and toes on my feet turn very red, sometimes almost purple. In the winter they will blanch white and I take the precautions that someone who has Reynard's Syndrome would do. Not everyone will have this but it helps to know that many of us do. Thanks for sharing!
