Jenni Falconer posts painful pic showing effects of her Raynaud’s Phenomenon and says cold weather ‘chills my bones’
Raynaud's is a condition which affects a person's blood circulation
JENNI Falconer has posted another painful picture showing the affects of Raynaud's disease on her fingers.
The TV and radio presenter, 43, took to Instagram to share the agonising shot of her hands during cold weather.
Jenni captioned the picture: "Bring back the warm sunshine....#raynauds #poorcirculation
"Yesterday it was perfect; a relatively warm, sunny day with little breeze. Today in comparison is so cold and damp that it literally chills my bones.
"If you suffer from Raynaud’s Phenomenon, then this sight will be something you might totally relate to.....".
Last year, the mum-of-one shocked fans with a gruesome picture with one finger looking extremely white compared to the others.
Jenni has spoken openly in the past about her battle with the phenomenon, telling in 2014: "Raynaud’s is a circulatory problem brought on by cold and changes of temperature.
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, it’s like being poked with cocktail sticks – a severe case of pins and needles.
What is Raynaud’s disease?

- pain
