Gloves when out of in that's what I have found but my feet ,that's another story ,even socks don't help much any suggestions?
that's a good idea. I also do hand exercises. Helps loosen them and gets circulation going. Pumping each finger from the bottom knuckle up to the tips gets the blood flowing for me.
An electric blanket or heated mattress pad helps so much at night, just make sure , if you get one, that the heated part goes clear to the foot. Also, wool socks. My chiropractor told me that heating your core (holding the heating pad next to your chest) was important when using an ice pack - I suppose it would work the same with Reynauds.
@lioness How about putting a heating pad on your feet. Sometimes they just need a kickstart to become warm. I do not have Raunaud's, but it works on my cold feet.
Thanks I will usually a hot shower will do it
@andilynn Thank you. I had read online that it is a good idea to swing your arms regularly to make your blood get forced down into the small capillaries by centrifugal force. Done on a regular basis is supposed to stretch the narrowed capillaries.
