re: Raynards disease / phenomenom
Hi, I have raynaulds too, also known as white-finger syndrome, as more and more people are getting it from work tools and vibration (motorbikes etc).
I have less hassel with my hands on a ski holiday than I do at home/work. Buy good gloves, and carry spares (good practice anyway). I have gloves with a removeable fleece liner so I can be sure the inner is dry in the morning. You can get disposal heat packs for you hands about 70p a pair, no need to re-charge, re-heat or anything. Just ...

Just snap and go, they are about the size of a sachet of shampoo and available in all walking/skiing shops.
I don't have problem with my toes; as they are not "shocked" into being cold they don't go all hyper on me. It is the sudden temperature change that gets my fingers, but on holiday, I don't go out without gloves on like I do at home (to the wheelie bin etc). The vinyl steering wheel in the car is my biggest enemy
Have fun when you go, and the good part of RS is grow out of it at about 45!!

No hope for me then I am 59.Richard.
re: Raynards disease / phenomenom
Is that more to do with Vibration etc then? My mum had it when I was little but grew out of it, but I didn't get it myself until I was 33 and had had the bike for a year. My Doctor reckons it was possibly the bike that triggered it. ? Dunno then
I hate the feeling when they go, when they are dead it's fine, but when the circulation comes back it's awful. And it's always a diferent combination of fingers!! What's that all about?
re: Raynards disease / phenomenom
I think white finger is something different to Raynards.White finger only effects parts that have been damaged through vibratioin etc. and raynards is a reaction in the blood vessels of the extremities to temperature change, for example the toes, nose, ears, fingers, lips and even other things that stick out.
My Doctor says that there is no cure and I have it for life.

re: Raynards disease / phenomenom
Will look into it a bit more as I thought it was mostly a female thing from late 20/30's to about 45 yo. I wonder whether there are different triggers for male / females. I will dig out the neurophysiolgical books and have a peruse. Didn't have it when I was at Uni so never looked into it then.Slightly more interesting than REACH regulations.

whoo hoo, quite a lot on the t'interweb, I'll be back in a bit. re: Raynards disease / phenomenom
I got diagnosed with Raynards when i was 17, particularly in my feet when a sudden temprature change happend, which caused them to change colour then go so numb it's really painful!
I have trouble all year until i go to the snow where i have the odd episode!! a pair of nylon tights, trainer socks then a good decent pair of snow socks usually is the trick as you can still wriggle your toes to keep the blood flowing!
sounds daft, but nice to read people actually no what it feels like ...

Just by holding a cold glass of lager bring on an attack.Very inconvenient.
