Hi

This morning my left hand middle finger went numb and then turned almost entirely white. I have not had this before. After putting my hands in some warm water the colour came back but pins and needles have continued. My son has Raynaud's. I am 66. Does anyone think it might be developing in me?

  It doesn't sound like Raynauds at all. Why cause the woman undo angst. She had one white finger. Care as to circulatory health in general is important.

I t sounds like it to me as well, but bear in mind it has been very cold. Just keep gloves on and avoid being chilled.

One brief episode does not Raynaud's make. If you are taking medication, that might be a contributing factor, should you have more symptoms.
