I've got Raynaud's secondary to Sjogren's syndrome. It affects my hands, feet, nose and ears. Not a good time when the temperature is 20 below zero.

I have fingerless gloves that go up to my elbows to wear when I type. I wear high top house shoes over thick chenille socks. And I often wear a hoodie to keep my ears warm (hats make my head itch).

Mine was steadily getting worse but seems to have leveled off a bit since I went on immuno-suppressants. I haven't noticed any connection with stress but I have read it can affect some people that way.
