I put on my gloves and wrap up in a blanket:)

Yes it's rotten ,I have it very severe ,nearly lost some toes when I was a youngster .
The Tablets and cream help a little but nothing beats thick bedsocks ,cotton gloves and a warm blanket
I think you posted in the wrong place though ?! Its an ailment ,hardly a disability:rotfl:
Mind you though ,the way things are going it wont be long before people are trying to claim for it lol .

I get that too, never realised there was a name for it though lol.

Just thought it was one of those things!

Raynauds is more serious than just being cold ,the real pain starts when you warm up ,the swelling and pain is excruciating ,it is a very real circulatory disorder and can have some very serious effect as I have found out .I now have anemia too which causes lack of oxygen to my muscles and extremities so thats making it worse
I was on heart tablets and creams from the age of 15 .
But its still not a disability ,dont give the scroungers more ideas:rotfl:

Raynauds can be a disability under the DDA.

You can buy (I think they're mainly used by people who ride motorbikes) clothing that you heat up.

Wear socks and slippers to stop your feet getting cold.

I swear by wrist warmers used for ski-ing - I own several pairs and find they really help: http://www.outdoorgear.co.uk/eshop.asp?wci=product&wce=36120100&desc=LADIES+MICRO+FLEECE+WRIST+WARMERS%22 They do them for men and children too.

Layers of clothing to trap air and thermal undies on cold days.

Hi everyone
im starting to warm up nicely now.
Ive got heated gloves but they are not much use to be honest.

skiTTish...my friend has rauyards & has been awarded low rate Dla for it.

I haven't got raynards (well not as far as I know), but I've suffered with cold hands/feet/etc for years. Taking extra strength Omega 3 cod liver oil has helped my circulation, plus hot water bottles work a treat (even in this weather).

Even though i have it severely ,I am disgusted that scroungers use it as an excuse to claim benefits!!
Jeesus ,they will be awarding DLA for Acne next !
