A member asked:
My husband's in the us army(we're stationed in ak), if he gets diagnosed with raynauds disease will he be discharged or reassigned to warmer location?

Doubt : He'll be discharged. Possibly considered nondeploable to colder areas. Depends on how bad the symptoms are and if meds help him also.

Probably not: Just keep hands warm. By small pocket hand heaters and wear gloves. Rarely gets severe!
