i seem to go in cycles depending on the extremity. my leg, that was the the initial site, is constantly cold and blue while my arm, the latest affected area, is constantly to hot. i look like an idiot regardless of the season with warm clothes on my lower body and a t-shirt on the top. the really weird thing is the lack of comformity among patients, everyone seems to be different. at least when you break a bone or blow out a knee or shoulder the presentation, repair, and recovery are fairly similar.
i do have an electric blanket that i just use on the lower half of my body that seems to solve the problem...the only problem is my boyfriend is a total hot body when he sleeps and the blanket drives him into the guest room
its nice to know i am not alone in my random body...wait that doesnt sound good...oh well you get the idea
