It's called Syndrome de Raynaud in French, so I guess it must me Raynaud Syndrom in English.
I have cold hands most of the year, mot only in winter.


Same here; my hands and feet go numb in cool weather very quickly. I have to keep this in mind when I am outside and the temperature is under 60 degrees. In the winter time I have a ready explanation for my numb limbs, but finding a reason in the summertime is much harder. It is a good thing I live down south. :)

This is so interesting...I have Very poor circulation and get cold easily too! I have been diagnosed with Raynaud's syndrome.......I wonder if there is a link with AS.........

I also used to go outside without a coat as a child. A lack of awareness of temperature at times and bad circulation is a terrible mixture...........


I also used to do so.

I, too, have cold hands and feet. When I'm talking on phone, my hand holding the unit gets way cooler then the other I'm not holding up.

I also have cold hands and feet all winter long. I think it is not uncommon among females. Sometimes it takes hours for my feet to warm up at night after I go to bed even though the rest of me is too hot under my down comforter. It's annoying.

I had a weird experience the other day. I was sitting in a room, feeling sort of tense, my hands and feet very cold, listening to a piano recital. The pianist played a particularly beautiful piece and suddenly my hands and feet went warm. Then 10 or 15 minutes I developed what I later figured out was a retinal migraine, which I've never had before. My vision went all wonky and I basically went blind in one eye for about half an hour. A retinal migraine is not really a migraine because the brain isn't affected, but a vasospasm of the eye. It seemed to me that the sudden rush of blood to my limbs and the vasospasm in my eye were related.
