Hot or Cold Hands?
I would like to do an informal survey to determine if a majority of persons with Dupuytren's are warm blooded or cold blooded (ie. warm hands or cold hands).
As for myself, I hate winter and I often have cold hands.
-------------------------------------------------
If this survey shows a strong trend one way or the other, I plan to use it for my web site:

Cold versus warm
In general, I have warm hands and toes. Peripheral blood flow is related to several factors, including relaxation. I once took a course in Bio-feedback to learn how to "relax." In the process I learned how to raise the teperature of my fingers. The premise was/is, that fight or flight reactions draw blood centrally into major organs. Absent warm blood, fingers and toes chill. biofeedback teaches one how to raise finger temp. by relaxing; i.e., one cannot be simultaneoiusly, relaxed and thtreatened. When relaxed, one's blood flows away from central organs (liver, pancreas, spleen, etc) to peripheraal organs (skin) and warmth ensues. It is the fight or flight response. DD/DC may play a role; however, many other factors contribute to "cold feet" and cold hands. Heart disease and anxiety disorders are two of them. So, no, I have no "cold hands," "cold feet" to report along with my (now corrected) Dupuytren's contractures.

Cold Hands
I live on Galveston Island and have DC in my right hand. As soon as the temps dip into the 40s and 50s here both of my hands ache like hell. I'm originally from Minnesota - no way I could ever move back there with this condition.

Cold hands
I have always had cold hands and feet, even as a child. Feet probably worse than hands. And I actually have the problem in my feet and hands (though my feet actually do not cause me a problem, at least not yet).

Cold Hands - Warm Heart
I have a friend who has always had very cold hands and feet. A simple test by the doctor for "Reynauds Syndrome" (sic?) tested positive. This syndrome is sometimes associated with DC, along with diabetes, epilepsy, alcoholism, and others. JIM
