I get really bad Reynauds, and use heated glove inners, which are a miracle cure, and have none of the side effects of medication.

Pricey mind, and don't last forever.

I use Blazewear, but there are others.

Popped them on at the top of the Cat and Fiddle today, 7 mile descent in single figure temperatures which even with the best gloves possible would set off the Raynaud's. No problem!

You need to wear under a pair of very well insulated windproof gloves.

I'm now on the heated gloves for commuting since it's turned cold last few days.

Looked at this for obvious reason.

Seems that's what I've got. Not much rhyme or reason to what sets it off.

Seems totally random. Or is this just the beginning?

Everything, including cycling is a lottery. The onset is random and the duration unpredictable.

Any suggestions for diet, exercise or whatever to put it off?

Exercise seemed to improve mine. Keeping my pulse points warm helps. I wear wrist warmers under gloves when cycling - and outdoors in general.

Tight gloves don't help. I used to have a pair of cycling mitts that were a bit on the tight side and if it came on while I was wearing them there was no way to warm my hands up again.

Putting my hands on the back of my neck or in my armpits helps to warm them up. Putting them on someone else might be better but it's a bit antisocial :laugh:

Mine seems to be triggered by going into a colder place so even in warm weather going into an air conditioned building or the chilled aisle in a supermarket can bring it on.
