cold hands
Now that the temperatures are getting much colder here, it has a big affect on my hands. When my hands are cold (which is most of the time), they hurt and are very stiff and the cords are much tighter than when warm. I have noticed this the past couple of years. My doctor says that I do not have poor circulation so that should not be affecting it. Does anyone else out there have a problem with cold weather? I try to place heated wheat bags on my hands several times a day but am wondering if this is making my dups get worse? The cords in my hands seem to get tighter by the day. I have had na twice. Thanks for any info you may have.

Re: cold hands
I have chronically cold hands too. Get some "glove liners" or other light, thin, cheap gloves and cut an inch or two off all the fingers, making "fingerless" gloves. Wear them all the time in the winter, especially at the computer keyboard when your forearms rest on the table. You'll be amazed at the diifference.

Re: cold hands
I read that heat helps slow DC, so I like to wear half-fingers gloves. so,I can type,write,etc... yes,they sell them that way. I don't know if they help, but even if they dont,I think they add a little style...
