Raynaud's disease diagnosis

Hey all
I was on here a few days ago and posted about extreme breast pain and I was just diagnosed finally with raynauds aka vasospasm, so you ladies were right! I am pretty bummed since I already had an abscess that needed surgery that is still draining and still painful and now I have to deal with another problem.

I have a question for those of you who've had this issue, did you take the meds? My doctor said I should hold off and try heat pads for a few days and the heat pads are actually working but I just can't imagine doing this for another ten months. She seemed wary of the medication, which is confusing since it's approved for breastfeeding. So what do you guys think about the meds? Were they effective? Any weird side effects to LO?
