					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://livingwithscleroderma.com/700-plus/#comment-91580&quot;&gt;Janet Blumenshine&lt;/a&gt;.

Thanks, Janet! I have insulated mittens and wool gloves, but honestly, when I have a lot of bandages, they are hard to use. This winter I&#039;ve been using my fleece wrist warmers, which have a thumb hole, to cover most of my fingers, and keep my hands in pockets of my very warm down coat when I&#039;m walking. Not ideal, but it has been the most comfortable solution. Another option I&#039;ve tried in the past are gloves that are open at the finger tips and have a mitten covering that you can flip over them. My problem is that one finger on each hand is fused by pins, on the left at a 90 degree angle, so even flexible knit gloves are hard to wear.

As to protecting my bandages, which are fabric, from water, I only use hand sanitizer, and I wear disposable latex or rubber gloves when cooking, doing dishes, or other tasks which could wet my hands.

Hope this helps! Be well.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Enjoy your blogs!  I was wondering what you use to cover your hands when your fingers are bandaged...in cold weather, mittens or large gloves and to protect your bandages from water
during the day.
