Hi there,
 
Usually a lurker here, but had the info at hand about Raynaud's so thought you might find this helpful.  The article you're looking for is in the Summer 2000 Issue (Vol 36, Number 1) of the NMAA newsletter, and it's a collection of letters sent in by members, with ideas about management of pain etc associated with the condition.  (sorry, don't have a scanner or I'd mail it). 
 
With regards to Raynaud's disease/phenomenon, my understanding of it (I was diagnosed with RD at the age of 15) is that the disease is a primary disorder, unrelated to any other pathology, and that the phenomenon is a collection of symptoms,which occur intermittently, and which can be related back to an underlying disease or abnormality. Hope this makes sense.  As an aside, Gingko Biloba is a herb which is supposedly helpful in aiding peripheral circulation, but not sure of it's safety if breastfeeding.
 
Kind regards,
 
Tania
