Cold weather totally messes with my joints, so I always bundle up and keep a heating pad close by.

The dry air from heaters is the worst for me. I run a humidifier all day and drink tons of tea. I try to avoid going outside if I can, 'cause it just makes everything worse.

Heating pads for sure! Cold weather is so bittersweet because my POTS goes down but my neuropathy goes up

I turn on my radiator and cuddle up with my pups. It just barely takes the edge off, but it's emotionally way better than the alternative

Layers. Bundling up even when I don't want to/feel like I need to. Portable heat packs.

I'm having a bad flare up right now in my hips. I applied some cream that has helped.

Avoidance, mostly. When I do have to go out, I minimize exposure by dressing warmly and carrying hot hands packs in my pockets to keep my hands warm

Just do whatever you can to warm up the body.

Lots of begging and pleading with my nerves, lol I try to keep myself from getting chilled. Layer up a lot when I go out. The up and downs always ticks off my neuropathy the most. I'm not on any meds for pain so I use OTC neuropathy creams and such.

Well… having Raynaud’s makes it very difficult to stay warm, so I have a few heated pieces of clothing that help me immensely. Heated gloves, socks and hoodie so far. This year I’m buying the heated beanie and some heated pants. Pretty soon I will never be cold again! 😂
