New Weirdness: my right hand tends to be cold, my left hand is warm!

My right hand is in use, my left hand just sitting on the desk. This has happened while working with the mouse and writing in a notebook.

I have carpel tunnel syndrome and also nerve damage in my right arm. I have occasional numbness in my fingers doing the same activities. If it keeps up you might want to mention it to a doctor. Nerve issues can be ignored sometimes but certainly not always.

Good luck!!

Left hand is ok, warm, and right hand (I'm also right handed) is cold.

Have you talked to the doc about it? I haven't yet.

Sjogren's isn't fatal, but I think it's the clown car of the autoimmune syndrome1

but multiple sclerosis sometimes has differential warmth as a symptom, as do many other neurological things.

MS likely would have numerous other things going on. I vote for Raynaud's.

By the way, if someone has Raynaud's, those fingertip pulse-ox things are not very accurate, so if you read low on those, tell the medical person about the Raynaud's.

I just added a possibility. What part of "Absolutely NOT diagnosing this, not not not" did you not understand?
