I feel your pain! I missed two years of skiing until I got heated gloves and was put on Coracten tablets to ease Reynaulds. Felt like my fingers had been hit with a hammer even with very expensive skiing gloves on. 
I’m not sure which meds do what yet but am on blood thinners, statins, beta blockers and a few others. Hoping that next week’s MRI and a follow up in a couple of weeks will give some idea of what can be done. Already fed up of not being able to do my share on each job

How much of this is caused by work related issues ?

Look at you both, unable to function without drugs eh?

I ‘lost’ my fingers this morning on a simple, short connie job in the sleet.

 

It’s a total bastard.

 

The best gloves I’ve found that you can climb in are Pfanner ice grips.

 

Those teabag style warmers are good, but getting pricey now.

I’ve got a pair of rechargeable rock type things from Amazon that are worth a look.

Saved my arse today.

 

My Raynauds definitely isn’t work related.

My fingers used to turn bone white on rugby pitches in Northumberland winters when I was about 8.

 

Base layers with thumb holes help more than you’d think.

I just thought they made you look cool.

I was going to use a picture of a really emo kid but I didn't want to exclude Mick Dempsey's Non-Stop Oldies from the conversation.
