Severe Raynaud's Phenomenon?

Is there a disease or disorder of-some-sort that is similar to similar to Raynaud's Phenomenon but effects mainly people that have long extremitys. i also know that there are only about one in 10,000 people who get this. (it is very rare)

Raynaud's phenomenon (Raynaud's disease) is vasospasm of parts of the hand in response to cold or emotional stress, causing reversible discomfort and color changes (pallor, cyanosis, erythema, or a combination) in one or more digits. Occasionally, other acral parts (eg, nose, tongue) are affected. The disorder may be primary or secondary. Diagnosis is clinical; testing focuses on distinguishing primary from secondary disease. Treatment of uncomplicated cases includes avoidance of cold, biofeedback, smoking cessation, and, as needed, vasodilating Ca channel blockers (eg, nifedipine) or prazosin.
