I didn't know the name of why my fingers and feet would get cold when the rest of my body was fine. As an adult I learned it was called Reynaud's. I had to wear warm gloves in the produce section of a grocery store just to pick up the chilled and wet veggies. My hands, once the blood drained out were painful and needed hot water or a microwaved cloth to warm up again. In winter I needed a heating pad kept by my feet in my bed as no amount of blankets could warm up my feet once cold.
I read that fish or krill oil could help.
In my early 70's my condition improved dramatically after I had been taking the fish oil or krill oil capsules for about 2 years.
I've also read that their are some of us born with it and for others it happens later in life and may be a symptom of other diseases. In my case I was born with it, so I don't know if fish or krill oil will help the second type of Reynaud's

I'm 81 and have had that problem for 40+ years. Have 3 grown children. Daughter in early 40's has Reynaud's as my deceased wife did. I don't know any cure. I used to be Duck hunter in temps 5 degrees F to -10 degrees F. Took off gloves once and couldn't get them back on. Really shouldn't use hot water only warm water. Heating pad near my feet helped!
