please remember that not everything is due to MS. If anyone is having symptoms that are noticeable, new or concerning or ANYTHING.......please tell a dr that you trust, be it your PCP or neurologist, not everything is caused by MS.

Raynaud's phenomenon? It comes with MS and is decreased blood flow to hands. I've read that parts of the hand could be discolored like your one finger. Maybe researching it could give you ideas on how to help your hands.
