Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 HI karen, Yeah, I know cold feet alright! But I was diagnosed with Raynauds phenomenon (SP?) back in High school, almost ten years before the onset of RA. They basically told me that it was a circulation condition that could later predispose me to something like RA> (though I dont think I knew what they were talking about at the time.) They had me on Procardia which is obviously a heart medication, but it made me feel weird somehow, and I went off it for some reason (I dont remember why now). Their other solution to the Raynauds, and cold hands and feet was " move to a warmer client. " Easier said than done for a high school sophomore whose parents live in Michigan! With me it has always been ice cold feet (that were so bad at times it gave me a headache), cold hands, complete with funcky skin color, and strangley enough, a cold bum! Which seems weird to me considering it seems well padded to me. ANyway, you can look into it with lots of tests and appointments, and maybe even go the Procardia route, but I just settled on a down comforter and really warm socks. good luck and stay warm karen, My thoughts are with you, Mel --- Randall <krandall@...> wrote: > Does anyone have trouble with cold feet?

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 -Hi , My feet don't get literally cold, but do get very cold in winter. My toes turn purple. Hands do the same thing. I was diagnosed with Raynald's by my rheum. He calls it red and white syndrome. When my hands are very warm, they are very red and almost hot to touch. It gets unbearable when that happens. Especially in a movie theater. Ask your rheum about Raynald's. That's probably what you have. I don't take anything for mine though.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 There are days when my feet are literally like ice................cannot explain it when the rest of me feels warm..............and some days my hands are like that too.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hi : I know you enjoyed your ride, no matter what! I hope to get out tomorrow and no RA, FM, he** or high water will keep me from doing it! As to your cold feet, sounds like Raynaud's might be making an appearance. It is fairly common to RA, and can include feet and hands. I actually have to wear gloves in my house because my hands get so cold, even when the weather is not all that cold outside! Try typing with gloves on! I always have my fuzzy slippers on my feet, no only are they very comfy, they keep my feet warm. The only difference in my cold feet I have noted, is that now the bottoms of my feet may be cold, but the tops of my feet into my ankles is always, always hot, and painful, day in and day out! Anyway, discuss this with your doctor and ask her to check you out for Raynaud's! Hope today is a better day for you! --- Randall <krandall@...> wrote: > Does anyone have trouble with cold feet?
