daniella, how long did you have pn before you had to move from where you were? I live in sunny CA and thanks goodness the cold weatheris only 3-4 months long. But with this condition my arms are icey all year long. It is rediculous when it is 95' outside and I have a heating pad on. Unfortunalty movement exacerbates the pain in my arms so I cant move them to warm them up. Once my pain levels reach 7 or so the rest of my body my body begins to react as well so i have found that remaining still is the best med so far. That wont help with the circulation though. I have tried baths but in the winter our tub in inadequate for soaking - gosh this all sounds like whining! i'm just frustrated these past fewe days when it feels like i cant get anything done even if I feel "okay". It sounds like you also have problems with heat as well - so I have alot of sympathy for you.
Thank you mrsD - I will look at the supplements and try them one by for certain - thank you!

Hey neighbor I am in Ca too. Well I have been back and forth around from MI my home state,FL which made me swell 2 full sizes,and CA. Overall and let me tell you I am in a lot of pain but CA is the best in terms of weather. I moved from MI after my 1st winter. Then the following year I tried winter again and by Dec was in FL. I can't tolerate boots or at that time socks so that was part of the issue as well. I have RSD as well.
I take magnesium which I do find my best supplement but who knows. I would suggest that. I am also trying to keep with my omegas and have read a lot about that so would suggest that unless you have a medical issue.
Hang in there and I wish I could offer more. I do feel in general treatments that help the overall conditions will help things like this. I remember when I went to the pain doctor because I have super tight calves and he said the treatment for the condition should help that as well. Who knows but trying to hold to hope.
