Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hi , It is nice to be back. Had a bad flare and could not get on the computer much, plus I needed a new computer which I got for Christmas! Nice! They have also diagnosed me with Raynaud's especially in the feet. I expect a lot of RA patients have this. Anyhow, thanks for noticing I was back and I will try to remember all the rules. LOL. Gentle hugs to all, Tracie in Maine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Thanks for the update on you, Tracie. I also have Raynaud's, and it is, literally, a pain. I will happily remind you if you break any of the rules. You have been such a troublemaker in the past. LOL.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 No secret remedies, Tracie. If you smoke - anything - you must quit. Keep your whole body warm, not just the extremities. Use layers, layers, layers. I often wear tights with socks, jeans, and warm boots. Two tops. On my hands, cheap knit gloves under big mittens. Those chemical packets you can put in your mittens are great, but expensive if you use them a lot. Heated outerwear that runs on batteries is available. Expensive, too, but wonderful. An electric blanket is good to have for sleeping and lounging. Don't run out to get the mail or take out the garbage without being dressed for the weather. Make sure the bathroom is warm before you take a shower. In the summer when the air conditioning is on, I always wear socks.

Any secret remedies. As you know, I live in a very cold state! > > Tracie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
