Temp was low 40's with wind chill closer to high 30's. Now cold weather has never been an issue for me and rarely ever wear a coat.

But today I noticed the areas affected by RSD that were exposed to the wind and cold ( not covered by shirt or pants) were Ice cold burning numb after I got back in my truck, 6 hours later I can still feel a temp difference between affected areas and non affected area, Is this common or normal for anyone else?
Sadly, story of my life. I always have to get on my college roommate about making sure our dorm doesn't get too cold...She doesn't know I have RSD per se (no need really...), but she does know a few things obviously, one of which being that I'm sensitive to the cold.

But yeah, "cold flares" for me can last awhile depending on how long I'm in the cold, how much activity I have to do after, etc.
