Reynauld's Disease (poor peripheral circulation)
Female age 30 with chronic poor perihperal circulation. This longstanding condition was over 15 years old.
Fingers of both hands were extremley cold, blue in colour, numb and occasionally blistered by chilblains.
Extreme measures such as heating both hands over a gas hob, holding very hot mugs of tea etc were taken on a daily basis in order to regain some function of the hands and fingers.
The consistent loss of function made daily life very difficult.
