I graduated in 2002. I didn't participate in it for some reason, don't remember why. I miss those days...

I know there are two different kinds, primary and secondary, and since I'm otherwise healthy I'm not too concerned about having secondary, but you never know. Indiana winters make me wish I didn't have it at all, that's for sure.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-17659556284032084672011-11-14T12:27:32.046-05:002011-11-14T12:27:32.046-05:00I am going to show this to my husband and tell him...I am going to show this to my husband and tell him red wine is medically necessary :)<br /><br />I did not know Reynauds was that common either...course I did not even know what is was till a few years ago. Guess I am a late bloomer since it usually shows up in your 20's!<br /><br />Lots of good product ideas and great post.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10313417800020012776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-21298176310041120732011-11-14T11:07:01.830-05:002011-11-14T11:07:01.830-05:00I actually have a pair of Rimfrosts, and I like th...I actually have a pair of Rimfrosts, and I like them, but they were too short for tromping through deep snow and too thick to put my half-chaps over, so I only wore them when I was wearing my full "snow suit" at the barn. They are very warm, though.<br /><br />I've heard merino wool is good, and I guess I can't complain about price if it would keep me from passing out, but it's always been cost-prohibitive. Maybe that will change now that our HSA will pay for Reynauds-related purchases. I do love my one pair of Smartwool, need to get a few more!<br /><br />Yes, in my opinion, wine should be used to treat every medical condition! My GP doesn't agree with me though...Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-23539116422844886462011-11-14T10:32:55.986-05:002011-11-14T10:32:55.986-05:00I don't think my friend with Reynaud's has...I don't think my friend with Reynaud's has ever passed out (or almost passed out) - I'll have to ask her next time I see her...<br /><br />I just bought a pair of Mtn Horse Rimfrost paddock boots - I'm hoping they help keep my feet warm this year. I only wear SmartWool socks in the winter - they are well worth the money.<br /><br />As for base layers - I've tried a few brands - most are geared for downhill skiers, so I think as long as the product is meant to be a base layer, it should be ok. I like merino wool the best, but it is also kinda pricey.<br /><br />Wine is always a good idea - lol - hope you dont have to resort to viagra!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736592362765508427noreply@blogger.com
