Guest guest Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 Hi Judi, My hands frequently get hot and red like you described. I thought it was my blood pressure but then I began to notice that it occurred when I had done a lot with my hands. I don't know if it is FM or Arthur. I'll be watching to see if others know anything about this and also what your dr has to say. Take care, Iris. --- Suzanne <suzshay@...> wrote: > Judi, > > I have a very good friend with FM.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 I have the same thing, Iris. I think it's the RA. When I blow-dry my hair, my joints look crimson afterward. Love and hugs, Carol Re: [ ] Judi-Hands Hi Judi, My hands frequently get hot and red like you described.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2002 Report Share Posted December 2, 2002 Hi Iris, Well I did do a lot with my hands (and feet and legs...) Saturday, cleaning house and preparing supper for family. I guess Sunday morning was the first chance my hands had to let me know they were there! I notice too that they bruise easily, like if I grab something (like a door handle on a car)then suddenly there is a sharp pain and a big bruise. I am getting together quite a list for the rheumy next week! Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
