      Was dx with Raynauds in 1973. Fingers and toes hurt in cold weather. Try to keep them warm and dry.

    • Open Seasonal Affective Disorder

      Have had SAD for years. Figured out I had it before my docs. Realized when I went to the doc for depression the Apple Orchard was always in business. Figured out I always felt strange beginning in the Autumn. After thinking I was going insane I asked the doc if he thought I might have it. he said yes and told me about light therapy. Now when I feel so bad I just tell myself it's my diease and in March I'll start feeling better.
