Re: one more question, then off to bed...

[Guest guest]

I've experienced what you are describing about the numbness of the hands

when driving and mine would also cramp up, so I had to give up driving. Yes,

my

feet get cold and numb, but I have diabetes, so I have chalked it up to that

and I just wear warm slippers all the time at home and put an extra blanket

at the foot of my bed to cover my feet. I don't know what to do about

warming up my hands, except to run them under very warm water every once and a

while.

Love and gentle hugs,

I used to be the one who was always hot and sometimes still overheat. But I do

have the new problem of my hands and feet freezing. My feet go into charley

horse type spasms and my toes get numb a lot in the cold. They do it when I 'm

driving, like last night in the snow, but they also do it at home sometimes when

I just can't get warm enough.

My hands hurt whenever they get cold. I was told that it was because of their

being frost bitten when I was a kid, which may still be true, but now I'm not

sure.

My back can also get chilled to the bone and no amount of clothing or quilts

can warm it up. It's like the warmth can't get that deep.

I do hate it when it happens in the car and don't have a solution. I can just

commiserate with you.

Take care,

Marti

very BONE!! Also, when I'm driving, my hands and feet tend to go

numb. Does this happen to anyone else? Could it be the vibration of

the car?

I'd really appreciate it if someone knows how to remedy either of

these... These problems aren't as bad as most of the other problems,

but they are starting to become significantly more annoying more often!!

Okay, now I'm gonna go to bed, probably won't be back on until after

6pm (unless I'm actually able to get my rear into gear in the morning,

and get ready to leave before 8:15 am... work from 9:15am-5:45pm...

ugh...)

It's possible you have Raynald's Phenomenon which is common for us

fibromites. I have it to, so carry gloves in all my jackets.

Sometimes wear them indoors, too. Use 's hand warmers when it

really cold.

In warm weather I have the oppposite effect. Get very red and very

warm hands which are hard to cool off. Especially in a movie theater.

Good luck,

Debbie J

Hi ,

This happens to me all the time, I turn the heat on in my truck and set it

for the floor , it gets so hot in there, I have to open one of the passenger

windows a couple of inches, but it keeps my feet warm. The only other thing

that helps me when this happens, is to take a hot shower or hot bath. I use a

lot of hot water in the winter.

Hope this helps,

Kris

Yep. The wonderful people here tell me it’s Reynaud’s Syndrome, but my old

rheumy just shrugged it off. Since my doctor has found my ANA to indicate

toward lupus, it may include that. Everyone has always made fun of my blue

hands and feet… and nose too.

I have to wear gloves to take something out of the freezer or my hands are

in so much pain.
