Re: Palm reading (or perhaps redding)

[Guest guest]

HI CHRIS

I have suffered from red palms and they also shine. At the moment I also have a

repeat of this problem.

I have even questioned GOLDSHIELD about it when I was on Thyroxine.

All I got from them was to see my GP, but I still do not know the reason for it.

Pressure on the hand as on a mouse makes it worse, and can also cause numbness,

so I too would like to know the cause.

Hi and Kathleen, I suffer with this too; the red, swollen palms.The pain

can be really bad and it limits what I can do, I describe the pain in the palm

of my hand as like I've been banging a nail into wood with the flat of my hand.

My GP dismissed it as arthritis but it's not that kind of pain, it's in the soft

tissue. Just lightly holding my walking stick will set it off or resting my hand

on the keyboard will do it too, I've had it for over a year now.

The only other person I've read of who has this too had her thyroxine reduced

by her doctor (in the USA) who said it was a sign of being over medicated..she

felt even worse after the reduction. In my case I'm mid range on blood tests so

over medication isn't the problem in my case.

Could it be to do with circulation, as at times when I have been taking my BP my

hand turns all red.

Yesterday all I did was to make some cards which entailed using scissors and

cutting out. My hand became painful especially the knuckles, but apart from this

I am suffering from wide spread muscle pain, which I have been informed now that

it is not due to Polymyalgia, and I have lost count of the amount of wrong

diagnoses I have received, but it sounds like I am not the only one.

I don't think it's circulation in my case, Kath, I'm the opposite and feel

quite hot compared to every one around me. Do you feel the cold? If so it maybe

worth looking into Reynaud's disease. I forgot to say in my original post that

the soles of my feet are the same as my hands when I have a flare - red and

swollen, I have to shuffle as the pain is worse if I try to

walk...Hypothyroidism, the disease that keeps on giving. Annie
