Answers:
Yes it's true but that is usually people that have another condition with it such as Scleroderma!.
Don't worry, you would know you were having problems long before you woke up one morning with your finger laying in bed next to you!. The real damage comes from lack of circulation!. Keep an eye on the condition of your feet- as long as they go back to a normal color you should be fine!. If they stay purple too long, have someone rub them for you or soak them in warm water to increase circulation!.
Or like my doctor told me- Wear a wool hat on your head to increase circulation in your hands and feet!. Sounds crazy but it works!. Since most of your body heat is lost though your head, wearing a hat raises your entire body temp!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
