I get white fingers and have for years. Anyone found anything that helps?

It's weird how it decides to come on sometimes and not others when it's just as cold. I feel like there must be a second trigger - cold + something else but I don't know what that is.

For me I think it's a sudden drop in core temperature which then leads to white/numb fingers.

Eg if working out/cycling on a mild day, so am hot/sweating, then stop and stay outside - core temperature quickly drops and body reacts with the white fingers. If just out in the same temperatures without the sudden change in activity level it wouldn't affect me.

It's quite annoying!

I know, it's a pain in the arse.

Someone I know, a commercial diver, told me at the weekend that they (divers) take viagra for it
