I hear you completely xx
A very useful line of thinking..........
Warm your hands in hand dryers when out and about, had MRI scan and other scans unrelated to Raynauds always let them know about Raynauds and ask for a blanket. Stayed in a caravan over the weekend nippy in October so my friend gave me a spare quilt. It's trail and error. Also mittens so you don't have to take your gloves over to get in your purse. Take care everyone. Also ask on here people will give you advice and help
