Hi - I'm a newcomer to this site, joined yesterday and posed 2 questions to which I have had several replies; just wanted to say thanks to everyone who took the time to reply, I really appreciate it. Also "Hi" to everyone. Glad to have a site dedicated to Raynaud's

Hi Carol. You should find the site really useful - I think people are really helpful and honest in their replies to questions and it's just nice to know that you are not the only one out there with raynauds and/or scleroderma.

Hi Carol,

It's great to see new people joining this site, makes me realise that I'm not alone in trying to tackle some of the problems presented by Raynaud's. It's amazing to find that there are lots of people out there who have the same symptoms and are encountering the same challenges on a daily basis. I'm sure that you'll find being part of this online community useful, it's certainly helped me to answer some of the questions that I had.

Isn't this a great site? Lovely to blog with people that understand what it's like living with Raynaud's. I'm getting abit fed up of people asking why I am wearing gloves in sunny weather!! Maybe I should say it's the latest fashion...LOL One thing's for sure, if my hands are cold and it's a hot day, then I will carry on wearing my gloves. Been looking in the shops for some more but it's all swimwear now where the gloves used to be!

I always get mine on-line pretty much, they are usually a bit cheaper and I get a much bigger selection to wow the public with! hehe I also do toe socks and wear these with my sandals, people are usually to busy commenting on my socks then wondering what the heck I am wearing socks for when its hot out!

Maybe some Raynaud's suffer will come up with flesh coloured gloves and socks.

hi i agree with Carol-c, it is annoying with people asking why you are wearing gloves in the summer or when its hot, but i've kind of got used to it now. it is good to have a site dedicated raynauds, as i have have had my questions answered.
