I have Raynaud's Syndrome. Occasionally, my fingers will lose all circulation.

Have you tried turning your fingers off and back on again?

That appears to be exactly what they are doing.

What’s the risk of them dying and falling off?

Unless it’s a very severe case that’s not likely, for most people it’s just uncomfortable. Raynaud’s does make you more vulnerable to frostbite though.

Exactly what Lemmenym said - they won’t fall off, it usually passes within 10-15 minutes.

Don’t waste it and go rub one off!

This made me laugh, thank you.

My best mate has this. I’m always worried!

Is there anything, as a friend, that I should look out for to help?

The only time I would worry about it for myself is if I’m out in the cold without any protection, and I have to stay out there for a bit. Otherwise, it usually passes before any serious damage can be done. I think you are an awesome friend for caring so much!

You can offer to suck their fingers a little too help puno the blood

Is this similar to waking up at night when you cut off circulation to your fingers and they’re cold and you can’t move them? Or is that just me?

How do you do that to just your fingers? For me it’s usually the whole arm from somewhere between the shoulder and elbow.

Sounds like a different issue. There is one that arms go numb if hands held above head for a minute. That was can be helped with the right exercise. (But see a doctor for diagnosis if it bothers you.)

Thanks for your concern! It’s not super bothersome. I think I just sleep weird. I toss and turn a lot and end up in less-than-ideal positions.

Feels a bit like that, yes.

It’s just you. Everyone has a super power and that’s your.

How do you manage to do that?

Believe it not, boner pills help. They’re vascular dilators.

Booze is also a peripheral vasodilator, just sayin

Boner pills can make your fingers go numb?

A friend works in a pharmacy and there’s a woman who goes there who gets Viagra for it. Might nor work so well for me

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
