Does anyone has Raynaud's phenomenon ?

[toocooltobeMom]

I have had "Scleroderma" for one year already. The worst part of this very RARE disease is Raynaud's phenomenon. My fingers and toes are extremely sensitive to sudden change of temp. They literally look and feel dead (pale white...) I kinda worry about the temperature changes between the outside heat and the cold rides. But nothing is going to stop me. No even the swelling joints too. I should've have gloves on to protect my fingers from cold exposure, but in August I won't be caught with them on.

I will love to hear anyone w/Scleroderma or Raynaud's phenomenon.

My Mom has Raynaud's. She has to wear gloves made for -30 degrees that I get her at ski shops or she wears 2 pairs of gloves at one time.

I know how she feels exactly. I live on the "snow-belt" too. The freezer and frige sections in the supermarket are very unfriendly to us also.
