Anyone else have Raynaud's and clothing sensitivity issues

Posted by autnchris @autnchris, 6 days ago

I have Raynaud's and clothing sensitivity issues. I cannot stand seams, so it makes it very difficult to layers up on heavy bulky socks and gloves when I cannot stand the way they feel on my skin.
Anyone?

Welcome, @autnchris. I moved your great question to the Autoimmune Diseases support group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/autoimmune-diseases/ where you'll meet other members who live with Raynaud's like @laurie6 @slward1951 @kelvinthomas @ninajp @nmc7 @seniormed @vlharvey @sandicam and more.

In this discussion, some members talk about clothing to keep warm
- Raynaud's Syndrome: Anyone want to talk about Raynaud’s? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/raynauds-syndrome/

But you're asking specifically about sensitivity to clothing, fabrics, seams, etc. You might find some tips in this related discussion:

Chris, what fabrics are you able to tolerate against your skin?

Thank you so much for responding to my situation.
My clothing sensitivity issue is not painful, it is more just an extreme annoyance of the way if feels and rubs on my skin.
And with having Raynaud's I am not able to layer up on bulky socks or all clothes for that matter because it rubs uncomfortably.
