An insect bite or another allergic reaction would make sense, as would a blood clot that had dissipated, though that might be less likely.
Another thing that comes to mind is Raynaud's disease, which can cause cold, white fingers and numbness. Raynaud's disease is caused by peripheral blood vessels overreacting to cold. Females and people living in colder climates are more often affected. Your doctor(s) have likely checked for this and/or ruled this possibility out.
Don't give up on doctors, Anon! Making a proper diagnosis can sometimes take time and is not always easy or clear-cut. If your symptoms begin again, I hope you will return to your doctor for a follow-up.
