I get the ear and nose thing! Lol!

I just stay out of the cold. My fingers and toes are affected at the cold temperature of 50 degrees. *sigh*

what do you do?

Frankley, just keeping the fingers and toes warm is easy if your not easily embarrassed or simply don't care what other people think. I always keep gloves in the car or in my jacket pockets because the steering wheel or my car seems to retain the cold for a long time. Sometimes, long after i'm warm the steering wheel is still freezing. The grocery store is a killer, I try to wear a sweatshirt or jacket with really long sleeves so they act like gloves without getting the looks. The same goes for the movies.


I'm told but you can't judge by me, that eating spicy food will increase the blood flow. I don't like spicy food so......I just can't figure out what to do about my nose. I don't think I can put a glove on the end of my nose!

The funny thing is I also get the extreme red, hot almost pulsing hands, but this only occures when I get really overheated. It just looks like you've been doing the dishes with really hot water. It's not painful, just funny looking.

Ok here's my odd coping technique...
In my pocket (of my jacket or sweatshirt)
i keep these little heat things *giggle*
i got them out of an avon catalog they are called soothing
hearts. However, the same thing is made by sunbeam and
a few other companies. They are little heating pads... You snap
this little silver disk causing a chemical reaction that heats them up.
Once they cool you can "recharge" them by placing them in hot water
or some you can microwave.

Btw these are soo wonderful when traveling for all of the joint pain.

Also, steering wheel covers made of foam or fabric... Very
helpful they warm up faster.

Finally, I wear a scarf over my nose when its chilly.. I don't know any
other way to get around that... *sigh* sometimes this really bites

but we get through
