It’s so nice that newer cars let each passenger control their heat and vents, because I otherwise am very bothersome to others in my need to direct air or heat to my extremities at any given time. I’ve had to walk out of establishments because of how painfully cold and numbing they are on my hands and feet despite my thick socks and gloves in the middle of summer. Extreme heat can be intolerable too. It takes awhile to thaw or cool when the temperature affects happen.

All said, before Gabapentin, it was 10 times worse. I couldn’t escape it all day long. I couldn’t sleep for long because of no physical way of heating or cooling my feet and hands comfortably. It doesn’t work for everyone, but Gabapentin has helped normalize the heat/cold extremes and I only have major discomfort when induced by temperatures outside my control.
