There is a paper which can be found at http://www.gp.org.au/cls/raynaud.html which adresses vasospasm.  It mentions Evening Primrose Oil as a treatment.  In my personal experience, this worked well.  It took about a week before I started feeling improvement and about six weeks before I felt the discomfort was gone and I began gradually reducing my dose.  Occasionally, this problem seems to come back (especially when my now 20 mos. old son is teething) and I will take some Evening Primrose oil for a few days and that seems to take care of it.
