@nohrt4me I probably won't be able to tell what is making me cold this winter. I have Renaud's disease, metal implants in my ankle and hip that are new this year and now the hydroxyurea to add to the Connecticut weather. lol Time to pull out my winter robe and stock up on hot teas.

@scienceteacher Ouch! Renaud's can be very painfil, too, no? Yes, get out the cold weather stuff. I love my hot water bottle.

Many of us have erythromelalgia, reddening and burning of palms and soles. Sometimes prickles run up my lower legs. I try to keep moving to encourage circulation. Menthol gel seems to reduce the sensation for me, but the cats hate the smell and shun me. 🙁
