If you have Raynauds.....58 degrees is cold!
Your fingers and toes should turn very pale with Raynauds.
Sometimes the tip of your nose too and that makes your nose run a little.
Some people with Raynauds have the top tip of their ears turn pale too.

I have never been diagnosed with Raynauds, but my mother and sister have it. Sometimes I wonder if I have it because my hands and feet feel cold when other people's do not. However; my fingers and toes don't really turn pale.
One time I had to go into a computer room and take a typing test. The room was kept very cool due to all the computers. About a third into the test, the base of my thumbs both went numb! Made it difficult to type. I have noticed this very often but really don't think its related to Raynauds.

I've seen Raynauds and its pretty obvious when fingers, toes etc turn pale. You might get some tingling when the affected area warms up, but that's just blood flow returning.
