Non scratchy Pants for winter
 
Hi all

Im going to Europe this November and Im not to excited about the cold. Ive lived in Thailand for the last 10 years and I only ever wear light clothing however like some I struggle with long pants such as jeans as they really irritate my sensitive nerve damaged legs

What do you guys wear in winter thats not scratchy?

consider wearing long johns under your blue jeans.....silk ones are very thin and add layer of warmth. There's also more 'sports' oriented long underwear you may want to check out.

Silk sounds perfect :)

They make fleece lined legging. I wear those and black pants made out of sweat pant material all winter.

Duofold thermal underwear has a cotton fleece inner layer and a wool outer layer. I avoid situations where I might be that cold, but these are my go-to longjohns when I need them. Warm, but not at all scratchy (to my skin, at least).

I'm intrigued that you live in Thailand. For me, and others, that experience a burning pain with peripheral neuropathy, there's an activation of that pain that happens when eating hot foods. Perhaps you don't have that kind of symptom? Or you've found some way to avoid hot foods in Thailand? (Especially interested since I considered taking some employment there.)

Good luck with your travels.

Sorry bit late with the reply. I eat chilli every day in everything. The burning with heat to me is a lot more torable than the freezing pain. Plus there is some proof that chilli can help neuropathy

Everyday chili peppers? Well, I'd consider stopping them entirely for at least 2 weeks and see if your symptoms improve.

Some people cannot tolerate nightshades, and get burning from them. Not everyone finds hot sauces or hot peppers tolerable.

Sure. Topical capsaicin is thought to deplete Substance P and reduce pain, for those that can tolerate the painfulness of the treatment. So perhaps eating it is doing the same thing. Cheers.
