freezing cold fingers even in a warm room
As a recently joined sufferer, I am assuming that to experience very cold fingers even in a warmed room is to be accepted as common with arthritic fingers ?

Hello @kwp and welcome to the online community,
You are experiencing cold fingers and wonder if this is common condition for arthritis sufferers. Certainly members do share this symptom as part of their everyday life with arthritis. It can take a while to adjust to dealing with it and one can be likened to that old advert of the Michelin man! Bundled up in so many layers to appear twice your normal size! Humour aside it is a very painful condition and I attach a link that I hope you will find interesting

I've had RA and OA for years but my fingers don't get particularly cold. Raynaulds is a disease associated with RA but not many of us get it. Lots of things can cause cold fingers. Try to keep them moving - exercises are good - but maybe ask your GP what (s)he thinks.
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
