I have Raynaud’s Disease which causes body temperatures to drop. I’ve learned to cope with it. I wear layers of clothes, use electric blankets and I wear an Ororo vest most of the time. Surgeons wear these to stay warm when they are in surgery. These are fabulous! I also wear Little Hotties Adhesive Toe Warmers on my feet/tops/pants and put OCOOPA Quick Charge Hand Warmers in the pockets of my clothing. It’s been expensive purchasing these items, but they have certainly improved my quality of life. You should definitely check into all of these.

Hello and thanks for your helpful message. I just bought the toe warmers at Academy this weekend. Had never seen those before and actually bought them for an upcoming winter weather hiking trip. I told my hubby that it was critical for me to be and stay warm during this trip and so have invested in a really good hiking jacket, looking at gloves and glove liners next and maybe ski socks. I also bought the hand warmers too. I may never want to take all this off after my trip...lol. So, your Raynauds isn't just localized to your hands and feet then? Has a doctor given you any information on this and is there any medical treatment for it? Thanks again and I appreciate the pictures too.

I bought electric battery powered socks off Amazon- amazing! I wear them skiing inside my boots and they were total game changers, I can go outside in snow again!

But why (WHY???!!!???!!!) do they sell electric hand warmers in single packs? Most of us have TWO hands? I use my hand warmer all the time working.

The trick is: don’t start cooling off to begin with!! Once you start to cool, game over. If I have been sitting longer than… oh, half an hour I’m going to need to stand up and walk around or use the hand warmer or just check in and see if I need another layer (this is usually while I’m working at my desk). Once upon a time (4-5 years ago), I could ignore if I was cooling off a little bit because it would be no effort to warm right back up. But that is not the case anymore! Warm up before it’s too late!
