AJVDK Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Ok this may sound dumb, but I wear compression stocking and it help my feet stay somewhat warm, plu help with the pooling. They still are colder the my other body parts but its better then it once was. My hands get ice cold after siting up, or standing up for more then 30 mins or so. Has anyone used the compression arm sleeves? If you have would it help? Or is there anything else I can do toget them to stay warmer then they are now, other then laying down?Thanks for you imput!

Marie Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Amy,I have Raynaud's in my entire body and autonomic neuropathy. I use gel packs or rice packs you can heat in the microwave to help keep my hands warm. I have been mostly using a large heating pad because I am cold so often and all over. When I am at work, I use the small size gel packs for my hands. Good luck on your quest to get warm! Take care,Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wufflebear Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I get the ice cold hands too. I have a sock filled w/ rice that I nuke for two minues. It is a nice thing for my hands. I also can move it down to my tummy...for some reason I like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukkychrm42 Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 While I get it in both my hands and feet, it bothers me more in my feet. I always wear slippersocks to bed and often around the house, if not actual slippers. Other than that, I use a heating pad a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
