Default Clothing triggering L'hermittes???

Ok, it's freezing here now, (3 degrees in my backyard) so when my parents and I went to get a sandwich earlier, I bundled up.

I think the weight of my coats (fleece jacket, denim jacket) and my sweat shirt, along with my scarf and hat set off a really really IMPRESSIVE L'hermittes sign.

Pain down my left arm into my middle finger. (do you think the MS Trolls are trying to tell me something???)

I also think it's possible that my bra strap might have been contributing to all this. (we'll just say that I may ask for surgery to lighten the "load" the bra holds up)

I just got home, pain got better once I got rid of the coats, and it's only slightly better now that I've removed that undergarment. (toasty warm in my jammies now...yay!)

Has anyone ever had their clothing set off the L'hermittes???

I think I'm going to go shopping for a down jacket, since all my warm coats are really heavy, and down coats are not all that heavy.

I can barely move my left arm right now, it hurts so bad, just not as bad as it did with all the clothing on.

oh! and I bought gloves for me and my mom while they were finishing up dinner, and when I put my new gloves on, it felt so tight around my left wrist that it felt like it was sending extra pain signals thru my carpal tunnel into my hand...my thumb and index fingers felt numb.
