I HATE cold!

I have hot showers, even though they stir up some symptoms. Transitory numbness, weakness, and fatigue are way better then pain.

My gas fireplace runs constantly. I like to sit on the hearth.

Like Curious, I warm my clothes before I go out. I don't put them in the dryer, but I wear them around the house till I heat up, then I face the elements.

I let the car run until it's heated. Yeah it wastes gas and pollutes the air ... but at least I am warm.

Much of the time my "cold" sensation is just that, and I am not really cold (phantom cold). I find that putting pressure on the limb takes away that sensation, like with a tensor bandage, tighter shoes, etc.
