I have Raynards syndrome, more worse in the cold and winter months, came on when I was diagnosed with Lupus. Two relatives in America, my Niece and my daughter all have Auto-immune
conditions, so it probably is hereditary. But I have stopped having dairy products as this causes irritable bowel syndrome and gut health, and having problems with the gut can lead to other health issues. I have for the last 2 years developed splits in the ends of my fingers, which take ages to heal, so I am now on blood pressure tablets to try and help this condition, as it brings more blood to the extremities like the hands and feet.

It’s horrible to have all these symptoms I know I have been there, have you tried avoiding Gluten in your diet, many people can not have that either.

I have Raynauds and so did my father. I was diagnosed in my 50's by a doctor who noticed my toes were blue. Before that, I never heard of Raynauds. My father was never officially diagnosed, we always thought he had bad circulation in his legs. My cousin's daughter has it, too.
For split nails, I use CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, in a jar, in the morning and at night. The added moisture seems to stop the splitting once the nail grows out. While it's growing out, I use nail glue to keep the nail together. This has worked well for me.
