#whathappenswhenitscold #raynaudsJenni has spoken openly in the past about her battle with the phenomenon, telling The Mirror in 2014: Raynauds is a circulatory problem brought on by cold and changes of temperature.
Ive suffered from it in my fingers and toes since I was 17, and it can be so painful that it brings tears to my eyes.
She continued: Since then, the condition has worsened. I get it in all my fingers and toes and an attack can last up to 30 minutes.
When life returns to the affected part of my body, its like being poked with cocktail sticks – a severe case of pins and needles.
A burning sensation adds to the pain, too.
The NHS website describes the disease as: Raynauds phenomenon is common and doesnt usually cause any severe problems. You can often treat the symptoms yourself by keeping warm. Sometimes it can be a sign of a more serious condition.
