These are mu fingers (and toes) with even the slightest temperature drop

Do you have raynauds too?

[Brychni in reply to KittyJ]

yes Kitty - fun fact: with each pregnancy I had it in my nipples! 😬 They would literally go black right in the middle.

The finger thing didn't start until 2012 when, coincidentally I had my first puffy knee episode.

Thanks for the fun fact 😂

My daughter has that and she was told it was raynaud disease. Get gp to check it out.

I was offered drugs by rheum. consultant but I decided not to take them. The summer was coming and it's been ok. However, it's creeping back with the drop in temperature outside and since covid restrictions have lifted a bit I have been going to supermarkets again and so I am having more attacks. So I might change my mind about drugs this winter!

Looks like Raynauds. It’s very painful. I worked with someone who had it. Summer or winter it didn’t make much difference. If she went from the front shop through to the back the temperature change could set her off even though it wasn’t cold. I think need to speak to your rheumy and take the drugs on offer.
