New to Raynaud's, does this sound like it?

I have always been a cold person, all the time. I noticed this fall my toes purple at times, I didn't think anything of it, they didn't hurt or bother me.

A couple weeks ago I was in the grocery store on a cold day, and 2 fingers on each hand got so numb, wouldn't warm up. I got home and they were white, then one of the tips turned blue! I looked this up and Raynaud's came up. I called my OB, thinking it was hormonal (that seems like all that's happening these days). It started happening more often, and I decided I could like with it.

Then a few days ago I worked out, went to the grocery store with gloves, but had an attack. Soon after my left foot felt kind of numb. Later in the day both feed felt a little fuzzy feeling, and then it seemed like my whole leg, especially if I would cook dinner, sit to eat, back to clean, sit to relax....just always felt heavier like I had been kneeling.

I also looked up low ferratin, as I had that last year at this time and I haven't been on iron.

So, in the last couple days my legs got heavier, and then I feel a prickle tingle every now and then on various places in my body.

I sent a message to my OB and she said it sounds like Raynaud's, but gave me the name of a Rheumatologist.

Anyway, I'm freaking out, thinking I also have something else that's going on. It really came out of nowhere.

Advice?

Thanks!
