Coronation Street’s Samia Longchambon Reveals Long-Standing Raynaud’s After Instagram Photo

The actor says her symptoms are mild after two decades with the condition, sharing personal self-care advice for colder weather.

Overview

  • Longchambon said she has lived with Raynaud's for about 20 years after followers noticed a photo showing her fingertips turning white.
  • She described brief numbness in a couple of fingers when she gets cold, followed by stinging pain as circulation returns, and noted it usually does not affect her toes.
  • The Coronation Street star told fans the condition is not dangerous for her and emphasized that her guidance is personal rather than medical.
  • Her tips included keeping warm, wearing gloves, using hand warmers, consuming ginger for circulation, and moving fingers to restore blood flow.
  • Coverage cited NHS advice explaining Raynaud's reduced blood flow and color changes in extremities, as fellow soap actor Michelle Hardwick said she has been diagnosed with the condition too.
