Wrinkling fingers in cold

Hi! First time poster.

My LB is 18mo. About a year ago, similar weather I noticed my first 2 fingers on the left hand were going numb. I assumed it was either that I had been lying funny on my arm as we were bedsharing by that point (no judgement please) & still are. All the fingers started going wrinkly when cold. Apart from some extra lines appearing on some of my fingers (my friend said I had "mum hands") it sort of settled over the summer.

Now again in the cold weather it's starting again.

I've seen my GP for an ANA & raft of bloods and it was all normal. I'm aware that the ANA is "only" 80% sensitive. That was about a year ago. My GP seems to think it is "just" Raynaud's. I don't have the classical colour changes.

I'm worried this is scleroderma/some other autoimmune disease.

My question is: Does anyone else get wrinkly fingers in the cold? I'm still BFing (though obviously a lot less than last year) could that be something to do with it? It did a number on me with excess sweating for months!
