I have had Fibromyalgia for over 15 years and this is something I have been dealing with for at LEAST 4 years. Its most an annoyance but the past 4 years it has become more. I cannot wear gloves that work on touchscreens. I have tried countless pairs and they hurt so bad! Sometimes its right away but other times it doesnt hurt until I have tried the gloves on 4-5 times (this happen last month when I was looking for a new pair that was a bit pricey and tried them on each time I was in the store).

Here is the issue, try looking for ladies gloves these days that are NOT tech friendly but still not $1 gloves that arent warm enough and snag every other second or ones with flip top fingers (WHY?!?!? Who made those??!?! Why would I want my fingers out in -20 F weather and if I did why do I want this annoying bulge on the back of my hand??.. sorry, rant over =D). So this post is looking to see if anyone else have a similar issue and perhaps if you do, have you found any gloves that are warm, tech friendly(or not) and do not hurt. I got a pair I thought would work and my left index finger is still screaming at me while I type this and I took the gloves off an hour ago at least...

    Ah VooDooU, a lot of this horrible condition is adapting. I'm looking for bras I can fasten from the front that aren't boring and frumpy but pretty but because my shoulders and arms have started ceasing up. Anyway I have some mittens by dents, I did buy in the sale, they keep my hands nice and toasty but I'm afraid they are not tech friendly but my hands stay warm and well if I want to use my phone will usually pull it out if I've popped into a store or if I'm on the bus. Hope you find a pair soon x

      Ah I should have mentioned, no mittens lol. I need freedom to use my fingers so I dont have to keep taking off my gloves. Its so frustrating! I would be ok without tech gloves if they had warm gloves!
