I also have Reynaud's Syndrome but did not have any idea that it was related to arthritis. Interesting. I still giggle about my initial diagnoses of Raynauds. The doctor said there was medication but it had some pretty nasty side effects. So his recommendation was to "move to Arizona or wear wool socks, do calf strengthening exercises for your feet and NEVER, NEVER go outside without mittens." His prescription has not cured the problems with my hands and feet but they do make a difference. Also shoes with thicker soles, clogs for example, help keep the cold from my feet.

Sorry gal friends but those menopausal hot flashes were wonderful. No cold white fingers or toes that winter!

:lol:

The joy of dishes! What a hoot! Me too! And warm showers are a delight until the skin gets too dry and flaky. But that is another discussion.

Love this discussion to pieces!
