Hard to say: Raynaud's is coldness, color changes, and sometimes pain in the hands and feet. Mild forms of raynaud's are pretty common if you call cold hand , cold feet, and a little pain raynaud's. However, most people with these symptoms don't seek medical help so the incidence is hard to know. Severe symptoms are not common, perhaps less than 1% of the population and occurring mostly in young women.
