    Primary or secondary? Mine is most likely secondary to lung disease but I also have a family history of primary Raynaud’s. Got any good glove recommendations?

      Primary. And my best glove recommendation is… a mitten! When the fingers are kept together in one chamber, they are warmer. And if one or two go “rogue” the other ones can warm them up. But of course you lose dexterity with mittens.

        I lose dexterity anyway and get pain as arthritis like symptoms. That’s why it’s probably secondary despite the family history and it starting in my teens. Mittens are a good idea, thanks. I usually wear isotoner driving gloves under heavier gloves while outside in winter. That way I can take the heavier gloves off when the heater starts warming up the car.
