Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being in follow-up and providing details.
With your background history,these symptoms are likely to be psychogenic in origin.Anxiety and Depression can commonly result in such symptoms.
Raynaud's disease will not cause such symptoms.Nor,MS cause such manifestations(if you fear for the same).
Please consult a psychiatrist for opinion and management.
Hope that I have answered your query.If you have some further questions,I shall be glad to answer else please close the thread,rate it and write a review as your rating will be of help to me.
