Re: Faye/cold hands

[Guest guest]

Hi Jai - I too looked up about Raynaulds, and talked about it with my doctor - he says it's not though - he says this is just from the RSD since it will go from freezing to swollen and red and hot in minutes all by itself. At times they are kinda cold, most times really freezing cold. I'm going keep reading up on both though, and see what I can do about it. The pain I can kind of deal with, at least take pills and put a fix on - but the coldnes - seems like nothing works, and it's taking a toll mentally on me - I already know that no one wants me to touch them except Andy who says it doesn't matter - but I know that it does, he's just being "nice" about it. I'm afraid of what it will do to us as time goes on, if I can't find some solution to my cold hands. Sucks, I'm a real touchy feely kind of person.

Thanks for the help - I know you and Alyson and the rest of you are really trying to come up with some solutions. I so appreciate it. When I finally get to a psych appointment - one with a pain specialist in Feb and one with a psychiatrist in March I intend to bring up this particular subject. I won't let it get me depressed - that is the one thing that I have so far kept at bay - through laughing and putting my head in the sand and ignoring it. If depression wants me it will have to wait until I have time for it, I already have enough other things to deal with first.

Hope all of you are having a better day - you have all made mine better by being in it. Love to you and yours Faye
