Raynaud's is an autoimmune condition in which the nerves "misfire" either in cold or under stress, causing the capillaries and small blood vessels to constrict and stop blood flow to the extremities. It is not related to thyroid disease. Although if a person has an autoimmune thyroid disease (Graves' or Hashimoto's thyroiditis) the likelihood of having another autoimmune condition like Raynaud's is slightly greater.
