Raynaud’s Syndrome: solutions

These are due to Raynaud’s Syndrome, a vascular disease that affects blood flow to the extremities. Although more frequent in those suffering from arthritis, Raynaud’s Syndrome can affect anyone.

People living with Raynaud’s have heightened sensitivity to temperature (including entering an air-conditioned space from a warm space). Temperature variations cause the blood vessel in the body to constrict, which limits blood flow to fingers, toes, sometimes even to the nose and ears. This leads to paleness of the skin followed by redness and pain. Emotional stress can also trigger Raynaud’s crises.

Periods when temperatures dip below zero are particularly difficult to manage for those living with Raynaud’s. Keeping in mind that an attack can last up to a few hours, it is crucial to keep hand and feet warm in a sustained and comfortable manner.
