Yes at times it is but most of time it helps

Yes, in the past. I've adjusted the flow to where it's not such a strong flow, more like a sprinkle than bitingly harsh. Maybe try an adjustable shower head.

omg, yes the water touching my skin feels so bad and the pain of getting thru the shower is so bad, i cry also. I have decided to get a walk in tub . easy to get into and i think sitting in warm water might help .

That’s exactly how I feel!

It's cold water that hurts my Reynaud's. Funny how we're all affected differently.
