What's a gal to do?! I can't concentrate on my study, for whatever reason, I'm dying for coffee I can't have & have to type with my gloves on! (Raynaud's is annoying!) Nerdcore is soothing me though, bit of Nursehella & MC Hawking. Any tips for getting over that "can't be arsed" unmotivated feeling? & any more Nerdcore recommendations?

There isn't some other form of treatment besides always having to wear gloves and socks?

Hmm. Kind of a surprising coincidence, but here at my work we've been looking for gloves that hold up to rough work yet allow the wearer to type on a computer. What kind of glove do you use?

Can you have tea, or hot chocolate?
 
Loseyourname (great Plathiness btw I love her) http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Raynauds-phenomenon/Pages/Treatment.aspx I don't use any treatments or meds myself as I have a number of other conditions& can manage it with self-help :-)

Lisab, I have a pair of knitted fingerless gloves that have a patch of suede on the palm, they turn into mittens too!

Anything that contains caffine is right out so no cuppas for me unless I am wrapped up warm, I tend to stick to peppermint & camomile

Hope you are both enjoying your Monday!
