raynauds

[Guest guest]

I've had this for years. Since I was a kid. My mother also has this. Don't

ignore it, just be sure when you are cold, to warm up those affected areas. Not

having good circulation in your legs and feet is not good. It gets so bad for me

that during the summer in 90 degree weather my legs and feet are like ice. Not

to mention, the risk factors for people who have diabetes and raynauds. I've

never taken pills for this, just be smart.

You know, I think I do have this cuz my nose and ears

are always cold, too. And restaurants and office buildings

kill me, I freeze. But I've decided I'm going to ignore

this one for awhile since I don't want any more meds

Thx,

My sister has Reynaud's, her hands are affected. Her rheumy told her it

could be very damaging if they stay white too long, so she is really careful

to warm them up immediately when they start to get cold. Winter is obvious,

but the one that surprised me was cooking - some things, like making a

meatloaf, are really difficult for her because she has to stop and warm her

hands so many times! She doesn't take any meds for it, just makes sure not

to get cold.

Does it affect you in air conditioned buildings, too? Those always kill

me, I have to bring a jacket. And, if it's important to keep warm to

keep the Raynaud's at bay, I'll keep covering up

Take care,
