@sunnyflower Hi Sunny, I do find that distraction with friends is the number one thing to do for pain. They always marvel at me, because I never look sick. I put on makeup, do my hair, and just do the best I can. But sometimes as I sit, my feet are throbbing intensely or just on fire. Sometimes I look at them to see if they look anywhere near normal, because they feel horrid. Oh well. Thank God, that I manage my distractions with friends, fairly decently. Your mixture of illnesses sure makes for a plethora of oddness in you. Such pain from so many things. I used to have Raynauds symptoms, as my hands would blanch in the winter, and temperature changes would make them do that. I do understand so cold, that it burns. I can be freezing and burning at the same time, and often. I can feel like my feet are soaking wet, with no water on them at all. I have to tell you, though, I have never heard of neuropathy effecting the knees. You are literally the only lady that has described this. What does the pain in your knees feel like? I am much more familiar with arthritis in the knee. When Hank described you as an inferno, he is right. Horrid. I don't even know what to say. It is only my feet that does these horrific things, and that alone, wipes me totally out. I wish I had answers, but there are few. Just things to bring down the pain for an hour or two.....I am glad you are here. You are not alone in this. Love, Lori
