Since I moved from Newcastle to Hereford it seems to have gotten a little better, it is warmer here. I have tried a few things but nothing seems to help, however If I can think of anything that will help you I will let you know. |

Yup! Multiple dysautomnia owner... being a hermit and wearing multiple layers so far has been my best fight against it.
Sorry I can't advise more, following though incase someone else has cracked the code |

"Any other forumites suffer from this annoying condition? 
Apart from the obvious of trying to keep warm, any other suggestions or remedies you have found helps? "
Yeah,,its more than annoying.
I find that when hands especially, start to warm up again, it can be extremely painful, like you have just plunged your hands into a deep fat fryer.
Still not found anything that really helps. Extra thick thermal gloves and heated handlebars on motorbike aren't really helping when riding in winter. 😭 |

If you go on websites that provide stuff for dancers and ballerinas you can get what I can only describe as little silicone toe condoms (for each individual toe)
I find those under ski socks are really useful when out walking
For hands thin silk gloves under normal gloves work well.
At my desk I've a foot muff that has a space for a hot water bottle. That's toasty. |

I stopped smoking a long time ago and that made a huge difference.
Over the last few years I've been buying fingerless gloves for my son and I wear them now in the Winter. Seem to really help, I guess because I don't give my hands a chance to get too cold. |

I mr. have had Reynauds for many years. 30 plus. The key things I have learned would be;
There is a strong genetic component to it. Siblings and children in our case.
Vibration is bad! You need to be very careful about your choice of motorcycle...as anyone should. Heated grips do help as does rubber mounting the bars where possible, but the root cause is the vibration frequency. It is often said that a 4 cylinder is the worst but that depends on the engine size and the revs it operates at. Half and 1/4 of max rpm can be worst. There are certain revs that bikes are designed to run rough at for passing noise tests or it might just need a service? If a particular bike is problematic just get rid of it! It makes the condition worse.
Pressure on fingers is bad. Even what you might consider a tiny pressure from a slightly small glove will trigger Reynauds. That is the reason why a previous poster recommended mittens. Not because of their being warmer but because of less pressure. Similarly avoid even slightly tight inners. I (bike) ride in winter using mountaineering gloves.
Big shoes and lose socks. None of this "I only bought a children's size to avoid VAT" nonsense ladies🤣
Always have good gloves/ mittens in the pocket of every coat. Don't cheapskate on them.
Bottom line is my condition is less troublesome now than it was 30 yrs. Accept the basics and make a few better choices. Bit like fab really?  |

A V4 will still vibrate but differently or less and it probably will indeed be better😁
We have several bikes including two big straight fours. One of them vibration numbs my cock after a while but Mrs seems to not find it objectionable at all 🤔. "It only does it when ridden slowly officer" |

"Yes i do and working outdoors it's a pain. it has been a bit better since taking blood pressure medication."
Was going to say exactly this, my Ex was really bad with the condition and only improved when she started on a type of blood pressure medication |

I played hockey in school but eventually had to stop because of the pain from the vibrations through the stick. |
