Members overwhelmingly endorsed wearing gloves at night to manage cold hands and joint pain, with many finding that compression gloves help reduce swelling and stiffness in their knuckles and fingers. Several members shared creative solutions, including fingerless arthritis gloves, moisturized hands with tube socks, cotton gloves over Vaseline for skin issues, and heated underblankets for cold or humid nights. A recurring theme was that keeping hands warm relieves pain, though members with Raynaud's noted that fingerless gloves can actually make fingertips colder by restricting blood flow, recommending full-coverage knit gloves or mittens instead.
