Raynauld's disease-numb fingers/toes

[shootingstar]

Just to give an idea how disabling this 'temporary' numbing can be...I was in a near panic a few days ago.

I was wearing a dress long coat...I was dressed for a job interview. I seldom wear this coat since I work in a rougher workplace.

And there I was struggling to unbutton my coat in the washroom cubicle half an hr. before the interview meet time.

It took me nearly 5 min. to unbutton my whole coat. I could barely feel my fingertips.

and it was about 8 degrees or so above freezing that day.

I'm pretty sure I have it too, although never confirmed by a doctor.

My dogs get impatient when I can't get their leashes off after a wintertime walk because my fingers are too numb/painful. And that's in California, with gloves on.
