Cold fingertips…

Both my son & my husband have this problem. When he is out in the cold, suddenly some of my son’s fingers will turn white & he will temporarily lose the feeling in them. Once he comes back inside it goes away. We live in northern MN & have always done a lot of the outdoor winter sports, especially snowmobiling. My husband’s fingers are bad also, the last 5 years of his job at the mines, he worked outdoors in the winter, laying patterns for blasts. His are painful once he comes back inside, however.

I am the one with CIDP, but do not have this problem. I think it comes from freezing them at some point. But my son was told by the doctors not to worry about it…
