My wife has this as well

DannyBoy ,

My mom gets this but not very often.

yannic ,

Ditto. She always called it “poor circulation” and explained it’s genetic. Didn’t know it warranted a name.

I always blamed these particular genetics for my cold induced urticaria.

JadenSmith ,

My best mate has this. I’m always worried!

Is there anything, as a friend, that I should look out for to help?

The only time I would worry about it for myself is if I’m out in the cold without any protection, and I have to stay out there for a bit. Otherwise, it usually passes before any serious damage can be done. I think you are an awesome friend for caring so much!

You can offer to suck their fingers a little too help puno the blood

Grumpydaddy ,

I take procardia as needed in the winter; works like a charm.

Edit: spelling

rockSlayer ,

How do you get it circulating again? Is it the same kind of pins-and-needles you get when a leg falls asleep?

Cyyris ,

I actually have this too! For me, it usually happens when my extremities get too cold, and it can take me a bit to even notice it’s happening. It usually happens predominantly in my big toes for some reason. For me it just feels like like it’s gone completely numb, and I lose all feeling in the digit. I usually break out the heating pad and try to warm it back up until I can feel it again.

I stick them under my husband’s arms and steal his warmth. Or if he is not available, I’ll use warm water or just my own body parts that are warm.

Men are portable heaters that snore

Mine doesn’t snore, must be a defective unit. But I’ve grown quite attached and shall be keeping him.

I get this and my Dad suffered from it too. It’s all pretty unpleasant but I have raised my glove game and that has really helped.

Lemmeenym ,

Primary or secondary? Mine is most likely secondary to lung disease but I also have a family history of primary Raynaud’s. Got any good glove recommendations?

ickplant OP ,
@ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

Primary. And my best glove recommendation is… a mitten! When the fingers are kept together in one chamber, they are warmer. And if one or two go “rogue” the other ones can warm them up. But of course you lose dexterity with mittens.

Lemmeenym ,

I lose dexterity anyway and get pain as arthritis like symptoms. That’s why it’s probably secondary despite the family history and it starting in my teens. Mittens are a good idea, thanks. I usually wear isotoner driving gloves under heavier gloves while outside in winter. That way I can take the heavier gloves off when the heater starts warming up the car.

I use a number:

  • Silk under-glove that is useful in a lot of general circumstances around the home. I need a new pair as I bit the top off one finger.
  • Thinsulate fingerless gloves. These are my general go-to glove and I need a new pair as my original one are getting a bit frayed.
  • Driving/cycling glove. They work with touch screens and are sensitive enough for most tasks when I am out and about.
  • Ski glove - for walks in the cold.

I have this happen sometimes when it gets cold out. My fingers may turn this shade or just bluish purple. Warming them, rubbing them, etc seems to bring them back.

Have you tried turning your fingers off and back on again?

CoggyMcFee ,

That appears to be exactly what they are doing.

What’s the risk of them dying and falling off?

prettybunnys ,

3 or 4

sxan ,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Ducks?

davidgro ,

Fingers.

robdor ,

Depends

Lemmeenym ,

Unless it’s a very severe case that’s not likely, for most people it’s just uncomfortable. Raynaud’s does make you more vulnerable to frostbite though.

ickplant OP ,
@ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly what Lemmenym said - they won’t fall off, it usually passes within 10-15 minutes.

Samesies! Happens almost anytime I’m drinking a cold drink.
