Hi suzie13,

How does one so small cope with the discomfort of Raynaud's. My heart goes out to your little girl, yourself and the family. It cannot be easy. See if you can find thermal vests and warm tights or leggings under her skirt or trousers. I have seen thermal panties for women but not so sure your daughter would want to wear anything like that. They're not such a pretty sight for the young.

If you are not able to find thermals, long sleeve tea shirt will help. Try to encourage your daughter to wear warm hats/beret to cover the head and ears too if needs be, wear a soft but warm scarf around the neck. A good pair of walking shoes/boots with thermal lining or wool socks. Remember a nice hot bowl of porridge for breakfast to set her off for the mornings. With time you will learn more and coping will get easier just keep hanging on in there.

Good luck
