COLD!!

[Trace]

I don't know about all of you but I hate this cold weather, even with the heating up high, I'm still struggling to keep warm. I have Raynaudes (spelling?) & when I go out, I have vest, scarf, hat & gloves on (along with other clothes lol) & my hands & feet are freezing, I HATE I!!

Hi Trace

I had SLE and Im find cold weather doesnt help me, I feel the same as you, I try the hand and feet warmer thingy only work for a while than back to normal again. I hate it too!!

I am in agreement with you both. Once the heating has gone off in my house it gets rather cold, I am wearing my scarf now and my toes are going cold even though I have two pairs of socks on and booties. I will wear my leggings under my trousers when I go to work later.

I've always hated the really cold weather we sometimes get in winter, used to make my face hurt, especially my forehead, and I got the white finger syndrome as a child. My children used to complain about how hot it was in the house but to me it was always cold until 2005 and I was nearly 60 when blood tests came up with lupus. The plaquenil they gave me has helped so much and ramapril for BP, have felt so much better since then...I still wear socks in the day and bedsocks at night, even in the summer, to keep my toes warm. I feel for you guys...I just wish we'd known more when I was little...

Hi Everyone.

At the risk of advertising, Marks & Sparks own label thermal underwear is quite good if not terribly fetching.

Keep warm.

this minus zero weather hurts me.

Just couldnt take it any more, so went to visit my parents. The air feels like freezing water and even makes my lungs hurt, my hands look like they have butterfly rash over them, and the raynauds, inflamation kick in. Weather like this is just not right.!! I wish everywhere had a steady climate of a nice summertime, with only 1 week of snow at christmas ONLY!!! LOL

Hello Trace

I have a Scandinavian snow-suit and foil back insoles in all of my boots. Because I hate and fear the cold.

Hi I feel cold all the time even when the heating or the log burner is blazing. My legs and arms are frozen.

I do have raynaud's and wear thick clothes all the time. I feel like I never change from long sleeved tops and trousers.
