Default Heated Slippers at Walmart

Cold feet is a huge problem for me. It triggers the pain and shoots straight up my leg. It's been a nightmare. I went to Walmart earlier I ran into heated slippers. I got pretty excited. I didn't know it existed...If anyone has the same problem you can buy them where ever they sell "Seen on TV" items.

Even when the heat wear off (you put them in the microwave 60 sec) they are still very very warm. The only seam you can feel is where the toes are. it has comfortable elastic in the back so yo can have any size foot. I know that hurts some people. It's $14.99. The cold hasn't triggers the pain yet.

Just wanted to let u know that it's something that is available.

Take care
Heather

I bought some a couple of weeks ago. I like them. Getting ready to use them now. I am also thinking about ordering a wax machine / paraffin bath to coat my hands in. RSD started in right hand. Used one in OT.

I heard about them and im pretty sure people were getting hurt because they were exploding. I know a friend of mine and hers exploded in the microwave! So be VERY careful!
