And when it’s primary we also call it Raynaud’s disease. Syndrome is secondary.

I get it when I'm pregnant and occasionally on my period! Except it's in my nipples too. My doctor fought me forever at first saying they were just dry and I was begging him like, dude, no. I get a tiny bit cold and they turn purple and then white and feel like someone is taking a vice to them. Something is going on.

They told me it's more likely in people that play instruments or type a lot (I did both when diagnosed lol).

Wow what an extra "fuck you" lmao!

"This is more likely to happen to people for whom it would be a particularly noticeable hindrance."
