                        Hi Audrey    Thank you for your reply.  It is especially good to hear from someone my own age.  We do not have a research hospital where i live, however, i will be calling my Dr. about this today, if not, then sometime this week.  I refuse to sit with my legs up the rest of my life and i refuse to give in to anything.  There must be an underlying reason to this and my raynauds.  I do not have the money right now for a lot of testing, but maybe my Dr. can work with me on this.  I will be getting insurance next year when i graduate and get married.  I try to sit in the back of the classroom so I can stand briefly now and then, otherwise, i prop my legs up on a chair.  Feel free to email me anytime.  Thanks for your concern! :)    jill
