I noticed something new about my HH; my right hand is way colder than my left hand...
My HH goes along with sometimes very red, wet and warm hands (and feet/limbs), but usually they are dead cold (really dead cold) and clammy. I think this has something to do with the in my Guesstimation cause of HH (either excess or lack off, I'm not sure about that, vasodilating peptides like CGRP) but that's another story.
However, recently, to show my HH a bit, I grabbed my mother's arm with two hands...she mentioned that my right hand was much colder than my left hand. I checked myself by putting my hands in my face and she was right. I never took notice of this before, since you know, it's HH, it's all the same to me, bad on both hands.
I checked the following days as well though, and more often than not, my right hand is even colder than my left. If you read some studies about complex regional pain syndrom (a kind of inflammation often going along with cold clammy skin) I thought this is interesting.
Is HH some kind of neurologic inflammation? It would explain to some extend why indomethacin reportedly worked for some I guess...
