Raynaud's Phenmenon looking for more information

Yes, I had this for years. I still get flare-ups now and then but nothing like I used to get. The most helpful thing I found, was to keep a "bed buddy" handy. This, if you don't know, is a cotton tube (looks kind of like a tube sock) filled with rice that you stick in the microwave for 3 minutes to heat it up. It gets nice and warm and I used to keep mine with me all the time when I was at home to warm my hands. I got a good, warm, but thin pair of gloves to take with me whenver I went out, summer or winter. Where I live it was probably even more important in the winter because air conditioning really triggered it for me. The grocery store and movie theaters were two places I didn't want to be caught without gloves. I had a pair of battery powered heated gloves, but they were a hassle and I never used them. Probably more important than wearing gloves at all is just dressing warmly enough all over your body. The reason being that your hands will get icy cold whenever the rest of your body feels slightly chilled. The blood vessels contract in an over-reaction to feeling cool. So I dressed in layers and tried to just keep my body warm. However, there are some places that are cold enough that I thought gloves were also essential. You can buy little heat packs to take with you that don't require a microwave. They're filled with liquid and you press a button or in some other way activate the chemical reaction that heats it up. It can be a pain in the neck. Good luck; it may go away.
