I wrap up in a warm blanket before doing the ice... and I wrap the ice in a thin towel too.
It really felt "good" and didn't make me colder. We keep the house thermo at about 68... but our floors are frigid...over the garage and in the kitchen area where the slab is. The basement is small and has a boiler in it, and over those pipes are warm spots, usually occupied by a cat.
Ice in general helps my PN and arthritis quite a bit. I don't do heat anymore, except for stomach spasms and only then for 15 minutes or so.

Don't you hate having to do ice when it is so cold out? Unless you keep your house warm, then it doesn't matter much, lol, but I don't keep mine real warm, so a cold fan blowing while it's below 8 degrees out just sucks more. While my feet like it colder my mental well being is sick and tired of this freezing weather that feels like it will never go away.
Sorry you have been so under the weather, hope you get full recovery ASAP!  |
