Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I am suffering right now, this minute like mad. We've had a change in weather. We have 82 degrees temp right now which is still somewhat warm but it's better than the 100 plus we have had recently. They call it a " cold wave. " Oh well if that's what they want to call it. Oh yes it's cloudy sticky outside. Just my oppinion.....grumble, grumble, grumble.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Yes I know it Mike. Much of the time when a low pressure comes through I have to hold to the wall to get from one room to the other. Man that is painful. It probably is bad for you as far north as you live. I was in a lot of pain this morning but things are somewhat better now. Right now it is 90 degrees and warm. I can't remember it being this cool in late August and early September.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 You're right about the heat and cold. I too have Raynaud's disease but I also have Hypothyroidism. It seems RA, Raynauds, and Hypothyroidism fight against the other. With Hypo it is so difficult to tolerate the heat. I keep a fan running all of the time because I perspire profusely in the summer time. It just rolls down my face. When I get real hot I turn really red and it scares anyone that sees me because they think I am sick. No fooling. I can control my Raynauds as long as I don't hold anything cold in my hands. My hands turn blue even in 100 degrees temp. Now RA is a different story. It shows it's ugly head whether I like it or not summer or winter. But of course it's worse in the winter. Many many times I have wished I could do the things I use to do.
