Sildenafil. What dosage works for you?

I have tried a few dosages of sildenafil but never noticed any warmth in my hands. Still get symptoms also. I have tried up to 50mg once a day. The research literature seems to support much higher doses where necessary so I'm curious.

What dosage do you all find works best for you?

If not sildenafil, which drug?

Thanks in advance.

Have I exhausted all options?

(Excuse the sock fluff in the toes) Pain, cold hands and feet and chilblains. I'm sure everyone is familiar with this story but I want to know if Ive exhausted all my options.

I love outdoor activity particularly cycling but I've given it up this winter to run instead. Even still im developing chilblains along with pain and cold hands during exercise.

So far I've done pretty much everything I can think of thus far. Every vasodilator medication and supplement, nifedipine, sildenafil (50mg, even combined with nifedipine). Ive tried every glove on the market, I keep my core warm, Ive tried pentoxifylline and aspirin. I have a great GP who is willing to experiment but I can't find anything that stops my hands from freezing when the temperature goes below 10 degrees Celsius, even when im sweating everywhere else because im too hot.

If you found something that work, I'd love to hear about. Its miserable missing out on everything you love for about 5 months in the year because of the weather. Thanks in advance.
