Stress is a factor which sets off an attack of Raynards in many people...so even though the weather is good for the condition the trauma caused by the insect bites isn't. Poor you....rest up and take care... Bee

Hope you're ok now. Stress would make my Raynauds worse for sure. On the warmest day my hands, feet and back of neck are freezing rest of me is just ok. I'm never warm. :-)
