I don't have an answer for this question, but this is a very important question that needs to be studied. I was on depo-provera for several years. Since I stopped taking it a few years ago, because I was having too many side effect symptoms, even after a few years of not taking it I am still having several of the same symptoms as if I was still taking the depo-provera. I have not yet been diagnosed with a thyroid disorder, but I have also read that there is plenty of evidence to support that depo-provera can effect thyroid testing producing possible false negatives. I have also read about several women that are seeking help trying to find out what is wrong with them even a few years after taking or while taking this contraceptive. Real effective studies need to be done on this correlation, because it is unfair to several women to be swept under the rug and going untreated, as well as way uninformed of what long term, or even short term effects of this drug can really do to you. I even think that the drug companies and doctor's don't even really know either. I also believe that it is way unfair and unprofessional for medical professionals to automatically tell a patient that it is impossible for them to be having problems caused by this contraceptive. Doctors should be listening and reporting this stuff to the FDA every time a patient has a complaint so that this can be effectively studied.

Raynauds occurs in autoimmune people when the nerves that control the blood supply to the hands and feet "misfire" and tell those blood vessels to close down.
