This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I have Raynaud's Syndrome. Occasionally, my fingers will lose all circulation. (lemmy.world)

Primary or secondary? Mine is most likely secondary to lung disease but I also have a family history of primary Raynaud's. Got any good glove recommendations?

I use a number:

  • Silk under-glove that is useful in a lot of general circumstances around the home. I need a new pair as I bit the top off one finger.
  • Thinsulate fingerless gloves. These are my general go-to glove and I need a new pair as my original one are getting a bit frayed.
  • Driving/cycling glove. They work with touch screens and are sensitive enough for most tasks when I am out and about.
  • Ski glove - for walks in the cold.

Primary. And my best glove recommendation is… a mitten! When the fingers are kept together in one chamber, they are warmer. And if one or two go “rogue” the other ones can warm them up. But of course you lose dexterity with mittens.

I lose dexterity anyway and get pain as arthritis like symptoms. That's why it's probably secondary despite the family history and it starting in my teens. Mittens are a good idea, thanks. I usually wear isotoner driving gloves under heavier gloves while outside in winter. That way I can take the heavier gloves off when the heater starts warming up the car.
