Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Good morning Kirsten, I used to have lot's of problems with my hands and they are pretty good today. You can't even tell. Of course with doctors orders, some of the therapies they used to prescribe for me were moderate heat and hot wax treatments in those days done at the therapist office. I once asked why moderate heat and was told that if it was too hot it would cause more fluid to go into the affected area so that is why the moderate. Anyway, those years were and still are the only time I really enjoy washing dishes!! lol. I hope yours improve, Oh and last winter, I cut the finger tips out of some fleece gloves so I could type but keep my hands warm while typing on the computer at home. Good luck and good day, ----- Original Message ----- it was like my hands were frozen. I could type but just barely. I had to force my hands to work again. Does anyone else get this too?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hi Kirsten I know just what you mean about frozen hands. We went up to visit my son and it is always colder than down south where we live but he was away on business due back the next day so we went into unheated house. In a matter of minutes I was shaking with the cold and I felt all my body was frozen like hypothermia I had a thick coat on and then I had to put a big double thick quilt round me and I felt so ill I have never experienced anything like it. I was fine when I thawed out but it was quite an unpleasant experience. Hope you can post without difficulty now. Best wishes Joan U.K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Kirsten, I get this all the time. It makes me frustrated b/c I do a lot with my hands and I hate when they freeze up like that. Mine have just started doing this over the last two years (I have had Still's for 21 yrs), so I guess it's something that comes along with a progression of sorts. Mainly I get afraid b/c I play the piano and it would break my heart to eventually be unable to play. What I do is just wait. Sometimes, if it's from cold, warmth helps them unfreeze. But it's not always the temperature that affects it. Sometimes it just happens out of the blue. Gail (KY) Kirsten Walters wrote: Hey all! I decided, silly enough, to go for a walk yesterday morning because it was around 50 degrees. The temperature slowly dropped from raining temp to freezing rain and then snowing...

After about 10 minutes they were fine, but it really freaked me out... I just never had those types of problems before, and it seems like it's happening more and more. Does anyone else get this too?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Gail, It's funny. I was just talking to my boyfriend yesterday about how I don't want to ever have to stop playing the piano. It's my life, and I just can't imagine not being able to touch those ebony and ivory keys the same way.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I have the problem of when I put the stuff of my hands, I eventually have to wash it off after using the bathroom or before eating. And because of this, my hands get extra dry and guess where they are attacking. What do you guys do for this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 If there's a chink in the armor these horrible things will find it. You could carry a spritzer mix of white vinegar and your choice of essential repellent oil to spray your hands with between washings. I like peppermint, personally. The vinegar will maintain your ph without drying your hands further. > > I have the problem of when I put the stuff of my hands, I eventually have to wash it off after using the bathroom or before eating.
