    Okay- I missed the original post on this , but "reynodes" got my
    attention. I'm not sure what the poster was referring to, but I have
    "Raynaud's Phenomenon" , and from what I have been told, there is
    really no way to pin-point why people develop it. For me it involves
    fingers and toes that lose circulation when they get the slight bit
    cold, either from cold weather, or even in summer, if my feet get
    slightly damp... the color goes from my toes, from white, yellow, to
    blue in extreme cases. Submersing them in warm water sometimes is
    the only way to bring them out of it. (Or wearing those charcoal
    heat pads in my shoes, that really works well to prevent it from
    happening when I feel it coming on.) It's a very uncomfortable
    feeling, not painful, but cold,dead sort of feeling. I've been
    assured by my doctor that no damage is being done , just warm them
    up and start again! This is probably way more information than is
    warranted here, but I think it is a rather common condition, and
    I've been told not much can be done about it. Could have been
    precipitated by an old nerve injury, but they say sometimes there is
    no specific cause. Sorry if this is off base for the thread...
