Hi to everyone on the Forum. You might have seen Mayflower's Post concerning different ways that Members can become involved in aspects of our condition and the various ways we can bring this to the attention of the wider Public.

I have Just been watching the ITV Tonight Programme that dealt with the onset of this coming Winter, and the Health consequences of people who cannot afford to keep warm.

This would seem to me , to be an ideal time to explain the serious condition that Raynaud's & Scleroderma present as potentially fatal if we are exposed to the cold.

There are so many people who have no idea how dangerous the cold is to us. It wouldn't hurt if we brought it to their attention. Explain it is a Life threatening situation in that circumstance.
