A medical condition in which spasm of arteries cause episodes of reduced blood flow. Typically, the fingers, and less commonly the toes, are involved.
I have experienced Raynaud's for years, even before my RA. My fingers, and toes, sometimes one, sometimes more, would often turn almost white in just a cool breeze or when stressed. I always thought it was from a cold weather injury that I received in Germany. However, now that I have been treating naturally for a little more than a year, my Raynaud's has seemed to subside. It has only been within the last few months, but I do feel my treatments have affected it positively. Hopefully....it's gone. The same goes for my Hashimoto's. My first blood test showed Hashimoto's. A few months after I began treating naturally, my T3 and T4 were once again normal.

Hi I've had raynauds for many years before I started with RA. But now hardly bothers me although I don't prepare vegetables any more either because of my hands.
My husband cooks now.
Yes, i was dxd. with Raynaud's about 5 years after I was dxd. with RA/RD. Both of my hands turned a medium blue. I thought I was dying. Thankfully, mine is a mild case and doesn't bother me too much.
