I was walking the dog 2 days ago, wrapped up and wearing hat and leather gloves.....and the end of my right index finger was devoid of blood by time I got home! Totally white and it took a good 20 mins to get anywhere near normal.....pain, fizzing sensations then from white and freezing to bright red and burning!

My hubby just shakes his head as he cant believe its cold enough for that to happen......

Mine have been like that through the summer too dreading the really cold days

I got a pair of Ugg boots (outdoor ankle ones) and my feet have been toasty. I was on a flight yesterday and my feet even became too warm. A rarity for me in any environment but especially on a flight.

My fingers and feet are like that in summer as well. Dreading when the weather turns really cold.

I also suffer from Seasonal Adverse Disorder (SAD) so winter is horrendous for me. Not only do I suffer with Limited Systemic Sclerosis so hate the cold weather, I also need to use a light box every day to stop my depression getting too bad. I would love to be able to go out in the winter sun to soak up some of the rays but have to make sure that I am dressed ready for Everest before even venturing out of the front door.

Not what you're looking for?
