Hi I am new here but not new to reynaud’s. I was buried in snow during a blizzard in Boston and the national guards saved me. I was taken to a hospital where I was diagnosed with Raynaud’s. Since then I learned to keep extra warm. I know what purple and white and numb fingers feel and look like even in 50-60 degree weather! I joined this site hoping to meet others like myself and understands how the slightest cold is not for us! Thank you.
I worked in a hospital and my fingers and toes would go white with no circulation and then purple I had to do arms swings to get the blood to start flowing back into my finger tips.
I learned a neat trick when your fingers get cold and go all whitish..put your hands under your shirt on your warm belly!! It helps to get them warmer faster.
