Hi I have look at some possibilities yes my symptoms are close but my fingers only color when I've been gripping something and sometimes when cold but not all times when cold also my left arm goes Ivey cold like my fingers

Really not sure if any of the responses are from doctors. I am not a doctor, but have Raynaud's and ironically also arthritis related to Carpal Tunnel. Would be best to contact your GP and a rheumatologist. I do where a metal bracelet, can purchase online, around my right wrist. This helps the Carpal Tunnel by 98%. Only time I take it off is when showering. It has magnets at each end and this take all the negative energy of the arthritis away. I also take 5000 mg of Moringa each morning and early evening for Raynauds. It helps, but does not take away the Raynauds.
