It's happening during cold times ? If yes, it's related to Raynaud, I have it from my mom ... Not fun in the cold/snow 😂

Mine is classically triggered by cold, but also vibration. Like vacuuming or holding the steering wheel on a long drive will trigger it. Such an annoying condition! 🥲

Imagine riding a motorcycle with Raynauds ... cold and vibration. I can't ride my motorcycle at temps below 60 degrees, even with thick leather gloves.

This makes me wonder bc I had a blood clot in April Ik it’s not the same but if that has anything to do with why my hands itch really bad after vibrations and my legs when rubbing the seat of my car for too long

My mom has raynauds syndrome and it’s crazy how dark purple her hands and feet get.

what are the other symptoms beside skin colour?

u/Greg2Lu Jul 27 '26

The part affected (ie fingers or toes) became non sensitive / non responsive, the circulation of blood isn't as good as it should due to cold. Try piloting a drone in the snow and discover that your finger became frozen after 10-15 min and you can't control the same way the drone ... fun fun 😂

I would gladly HAVE NOT this thing. It's 'easy' to have in hot countries/climate, but in Europe/Belgium for example, not so great.

What if when hands don’t get purple like op, but pale. Rest of the body is fine
