wtf?

Weird Phinnia-body-medical strangeness: first two fingers on right hand + first three fingers on left hand = freezing cold and stiff. Remaining fingers = normal body temp, not stiff.

What the hell? They're not bluish, which I think equates to Reynaud's (although I don't know)...

Even if they're not bluish, but more white and/or purple, it could be Reynaud's. The few times I've had experience with Reynaud's, the affected tissue has been pale.

Interestingly enough, I had two go-rounds of it last week in the hospital. I think the morphine brought it on.

Can be bluish, isn't necessarily. My first and most major episode involved complete whiteness, no blue, from somewhere between my first (proximal) and second knuckle on each finger of my right hand, and coldness, and numbness, to the tips. As they warmed, they hurt, tingled, and turned bright red. Incidentally, this happened a couple of days after we had lunch in Portland. :)

That sounds really disconcerting. *hugs* I hope it passes. I haven't even had that with all my nerve weirdness. It's always my outer fingers that go.
