The condition “can be mild and manageable… or it can be very severe: multiple episodes a day with each episode lasting up to 15 to 20 minutes. During that time, you can imagine how painful and discomforting that is,” Makol said.
More aggressive treatment includes medications such as calcium channel blockers, which dilate the blood vessels, Makol noted. The drug Sildenafil, which is also the active ingredient in Viagra, can also help. But patients with mild episodes are simply encouraged to keep their core body temperature warm and use gloves and hand warmers. That’s how Smith deals with her condition, wearing a hoodie year-round and investing in heated gloves that she keeps in her purse “24/7, 365.”A.

I have Reynaud's and it's SO painful.
I get this too. Last time was from gripping a cold steering wheel.
Thank you shedding light on something I’ve experienced for years. I’ve had to leave my shopping cart in the freezer section to put my hands under warm water.
Raynaud’s disease. Two coworkers had this. I had never heard of it, they said it hurts. Have you ever heard of Mal de Debarquement Syndrome? Would ❤️ to see a segment on it bc it’s very rare too. Very difficult to live with for sure.
It is not rare - I know at least 10 people with it... Itcan be very dangerous
Go see geriatric or natural doctors, most MDs are clueless! :)
I have it. It's a bitch.
