My daughter has Primary Raynaud's Phenomenon. She has medical documentation of symptoms (Toes/feet and fingers/hands) when she was in 6th grade. Unfortunately, that visit was with a Physicians Assistant who said 'no, it's not Raynaud's when I voiced my concern about Raynaud's.
It was quite sometime later that she saw her Primary Care Physician and he confirmed what I suspected, Raynaud's. She has not, to date, used any medication for her Raynaud's. She is now 22 years old.
With Raynaud's you do need to be very careful as you will be more prone to frost bite. Stress can also trigger Raynaud's to flare-up.
