Monita,

Not sure what you are asking for, but I can tell you are in pain. I hope you find some relief, read the posts and questions on this site. It's a great place to find answers. I will pray for you. Do you have Reynauds? The cold fingers and feet, I have that as well, if you are going to be in weather below 60 degres wear gloves and stay bundled up, it will help.

Monita,

 

My hands and feet stay cold too (and, there's a constant burning sensation in them).  I've always been very hot natured, however, since the onset of RA (June 2008) this has changed in my hands and feet.  I often sleep in socks and gloves (and I live in south Mississippi where it doesn't get that cold).  I guess this has something to do with the disease itself (and inflammation).

 

I've actually felt better for the last couple of weeks though, I don't ache as much as I did and I'm not as tired as I was.  I'm guessing the Methotrexate is starting to kick in.  I hope you find relief soon.

 

God Bless!
