I read this the other day but didn't post. But I was, however, pretty fascinated by it because I had never heard of it before. I'm sure it does suck, but the disease it's self, however simple, fascinates me.

If you read my original post again I was asking for people who are affected by this to share what they experience. I didn't ask if anyone could make their hands look like that, that's just stupid.

Thank you to those who are sharing your stories.

ive shared some stories

If I didn't know better I'd recommend not masturbating strange women that were picked up in a bar for 1.5 beers

Seriously though... that's a new one for me and I do thank you for having the guts to share!

Strange, I had never heard of this. It's not just like you rode your bike in the fucking freezing cold without gloves and your fingers get numb? Or turn white. Mine do, but only if I do anything as the above.

i have this also but it only affects me during the winter season...i had no idea that there was a name associated with it...it affects all of my fingers on both hands...blue at first then stark white and they are numb...

thank you for the post...

Boring post is boring

Today's rainbow of colours come to you from my feet!

I imagine if you've already voiced the opinion that this thread is "boring" or that this is something one should simply 'get over' you won't be here to criticize what I've added. ;) You're likely always the one's saying "What a F'ing retard! Why would that idiot let things get THAT bad before seeking medical attention".
Still, one can always hope for the worst right?


Complications
By Mayo Clinic staff
Blood circulation to your fingers or toes could permanently diminish, causing deformities of your fingers or toes.

If an artery to an affected area becomes blocked completely, sores (skin ulcers) or dead tissue (gangrene) may develop. Ulcers and gangrene can be difficult to treat. In extreme untreated cases, your doctor may need to remove the affected part of your body (amputation).

Don't be given up on me yet, you may get your wish. Some people are just sad.

I have this too, in my fingers and usually in cold weather. It apparantly runs in my family and my grandad calls it 'thompsons finger' as all the women have it. I also have hypothyroidism. What is primary and secondary raynauds? (although I will google it, I've never met anyone with this before other than me)

[NutNurse]

I get patches of white.. They are numb for aaages, then it suddenly gets circulation again, tingles and goes a 'normal' colour. Sometimes it makes it hard to drive
