My youngest daughter has reynauds and her hands can go completely white even on what I consider a not particularly cold day

Not scared when my hands turn blue but I try to be prepared for all cold events as I have had Reynauds for many years.
I keep a pair of clean leather gloves in my shopping bag and pop them on for 'freezer retrievals' ...... it really helps.
In winter I use the pure silk glove liners which keep my circulation going.
I never, ever drive my car without gloves on. Its the only way to keep the feeling in my hands.
Hope this helps.

Anyone else scared by the way their hands turn blue when retrieving something from the cold cabinet in a supermarket? If so - any suggestions?
