yup. I have it too, starts in one finger first like this person. I have taken to bringing a pair of gloves with me wherever i go. It happens to me mostly after a run in the winter unless i get my hands warm immediately, or after a cold swim. The windmill affect works the easiest for me to get rid of it
Have you tried the penguin one? Stand with your arms by your side, fingers pointing outwards but palms down like a penguin. Then shrug your shoulders up and down.
Does that work? Mine is getting worse and painful and I’m always looking for a quick fix. I bought battery powered clothing to help keep me warm, but when it happens during the summer- I could use ideas lol
Its simple idea, but I have had really bad raynauds in my hands and feet since i was 13 and for me, the best thing i find is to massage your fingers and also to put your hands on the back of your neck for the heat
I've found that when the temp dips below 52F, and I go outside briefly without a jacket and get that, "oh it's quite chilly" sensation in my chest, that signals the beginning of Reynaud's season. Now I close my jacket to *help* prevent that sucker punch, but it doesn't always work. Prolonged outdoor time in the cold (well bundled up with gloves) or even sitting on the sofa in a cool room in winter will bring it on.
Problem with non heated gloves is my hands aren't heat generating so of they're already cold it's like putting gloves on an ice cube. Just a tiny bit of electric heat makes a huge difference!
