Hi there! You caught my attention. Last March I was tested for Raynauds but ended by being diagnosed with Chilblains. My feet were frozen all the time which was nothing new but they were also turning all shades of red and purple, sometimes greyish. Sores began breaking out terribly and itching was a whole other level than anything I had ever experienced. I also had been diagnosed withSmall Fiber Poly Neuropathy in February so when I asked my neurologist he just looked at my feet and said...SFPN. By my own research, Raynauds also made alot of sense. I have learned to keep my feet (and hands) extra warm and not let them freeze. Don't quickly put them in hot shower or bath. Transition of temps is very important. Im still freaked out about how my feet looked and felt during this time and the colors they continue to turn. Would love to share pictures but don't want to offend anyone. I have been so curious though about others situations. I hope your Raynauds is under control as best can be and thanks for mentioning it.
Rachel

...and yes, my body can be sweating but, feet frozen too! For me I've learned that my small fiber nerve damage effects the blood vessels from opening thus restricting circulation. Dr mentioned I could take meds in winter months to help.
