The Everyday Struggles of Raynaud’s during the Summer
While the warm summer weather is welcomed by those with Raynaud’s…
…there are some everyday struggles that others might take for granted or find surprising.
Repetitive Strain Injury, Cold Hands & Fingerless Gloves
There are a lot of articles out there that talk about ergonomics and repetitive strain injury (RSI) from working at the computer. I won’t regurgitate all of that information here when you can read more first-hand accounts in other places. The main point I will focus on in this article is that cold hands can be a warning sign of RSI and a variety of research papers that have relevant studies related to this topic. If you are having discomfort in your hands throughout your day, stop and observe whether or not your hands feel cold. If so, a step toward remedying this, like wearing fingerless gloves from Refiber Designs, may be one of the simplest things to do to actively help your hand/wrist discomfort.
