    I too have Raynaud's Syndrome/ Phenomenon in my hands.  When it
    flares up it causes the circulation in some of my fingers to be
    greatly diminished and they turn white and become somewhat numb. 
    Very annoying when in the middle of a project.  It happens most
    frequently in the winter when cutting stones with cold water in the
    basement.  (Guess I should try tapping into the hot water line
    also!)  Rarely happens in the summer.  (Michigan climate.)  The best
    remedy I have found when this happens is to lower my hands and hold
    them under warm water until the circulation starts again and the
    color comes back. 

    Dale in Michigan where summer could be starting any time now.  I
    hope!
