Hi Weary I feel for you Humidity is the Worst one thing about where I live now

we rarely get Humidity and if we do it doesn't last too long

it is Cold here at moment and my feet feel like they are on fire

I think its a combination of the joints and the circulation they go so cold they burn weird !!

waiting is hard but wont know much till Wednesday but one Good thing he thinks the LGL's are Not a worry

so no to Leukaemia but more toward Lupus

Praying for you BadDay, it's a relief to hear that Leukemia isn't probable though I am sure. I hope you feel better and have peace through all of this. It is never easy waiting to hear how test results are going to turn out. It sounds like this Doctor knows his stuff. :) -Don

It's very good that he thinks it's not leukemia, very good on that...Lupus is treatable and I do wish it's not that...many many prayers for you. Raynaud's can turn your hands and feet blue when it gets cold maybe try wearing gloves and feet warmers, or buying electric warmers... a parafin wax bath for your hands and feet might also help to stay warm...I'm always so very cold too, it's in the 90's to 100's here with high humidity but I keep the thermostat at 77-78, hubby turns it down at night to 75 but that get me very cold...
I do like the heat, but the humdity isn't so good..if it gets too hot then I get sick...
Go to a swim shop or surfer shop and get some of those gloves divers wear it'll keep your hands warm, I wear them and they are warming...and I have the diver's boots as well and my hands and feet stay warm, weird but they work! Try them on as sizes do not do these items justice...

Hi all well today I find results, but first is landlords house inspection ! we are looking at moving out so hope to find somewhere soon

Yes with the Reynard's my hands & feet do go blue and hurt

woke up this morning with huge headache and ulcers in mouth - stress probably

I did try the paraffin hand thing many years ago it was wonderful,

well here's fingers crossed for 2.30 today at doctors  wink
