Christine McGuinness Says Raynaud’s Diagnosis Has Left Her ‘Overwhelmed and Scared’

Her doctor linked the attacks to prolonged stress, raising her fears about coping during solo parenting.

Overview

  • McGuinness told Mail Online that stress can leave her fingers white, numb and immobile, forcing her to pause everyday tasks.
  • She first noticed her hands seizing at the start of the year while dressing her children, then sought medical advice in May and was diagnosed with Raynaud’s syndrome.
  • Sources quoted by OK! and the Mirror say she worries about episodes striking when she is alone with her three children and feels out of control.
  • Reports highlight that her previously disclosed autism and ADHD make adjusting to the condition and new routines more difficult.
