This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I have Raynaud's Syndrome. Occasionally, my fingers will lose all circulation. (lemmy.world)

Chest hurting sounds bad. Not a Dr but have Reynaud's exacerbated by ADHD meds and haven't experienced chest pain. Are you sure it directly follows handling frozen food etc? Could be related or coincidental - so many things can cause chest pain, from harmless but temporarily hurty intercostal pain all the way to cardiac arrest. Other details (weight, age, genetic history, other medications/treatments, smoking/drinking/substance status) also matter so it's worth bringing up with your doctor, unless you're in America in which case just ask ChatGPT.

It's an immediate response to cold hands. Even handling refrigerated chicken, not just frozen stuff.

How strange. Neurological? I have no idea, but hand warmers may help in the meantime! I'd be interested to know if anyone could please recommend a good heated mouse or mousepad when the extremities get cold working in the officd?
