I get this in my hands, but it's not severe. If it gets cold (or I stick my hand in the freezer) my hands will often go purple and seize up.

About 5 years ago I was in Yorkshire doing weapon training with the army... we were down the ranges doing a shoot and it was pissing down with freezing rain. It got so cold at one point that I couldn't pull the trigger

Just as well Al-Qaeda don't come from the North Pole

This happens to me. Completely healthy. I'm in the military, constant check-ups, blah blah blah. Actually, my doctor has it too. Fingers go completely white and numb after getting cold or handling anything cold. It takes about five or ten minutes, but they return to normal. No biggie. Apparently, it's pretty common

It's not uncommon bit it's also not a 'no biggie'. Depending on severity and frequency there can be permanent damage. As you can see by my newer thread (I was unable to add to this one) the bout with my feet last weekend lasted over 3 hours... The pictures say it all.

It's never good for any extremity to be without proper circulation.
The following is from the Mayo Clinic Site:
Complications
If Raynaud's is severe — which is rare — 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).

Angel is it painful all the time? I don't know why, but when I see pictures of people with Raynaud's I get this image of the sensation of pins and needles more than actual "hurting".

To be honest, there's no pain associated with it, not in my experience anyhow. I get a little bit of tingle like pins and needles but nothing like when I've slept or sat on a hand or foot wrong and it 'falls asleep'. I can tell when it's happening but it's subtle; a little bit numb is all.

Try to get your hands on a vasodilator, simple ephedra can used, although in the US, it's pretty much impossible to get due to Meth-heads using it as material to make crystal. I have use to many commas haven't I?
