I just remembered when I was in the hospital in Germany they sent an therapist to me who specialized in desisitization. She brought a whole kit filled with simple household things for me to try to help desensitize my foot. It had things like a silk scarf, feathers, soft bristel paint brushes, a bath exfoliation glove, a soft cotton bag filled with heated cherry pits...etc. I still use a number of these tricks when my sensitivity increases and thought it might help some you with hightened sensitivity.
I also don't like breezes, even worse I feel like I need to dress like an eskimo in the middle of the summer when I go grocery shopping. I hate the freezer section. Wishing you all a pain free day. MsL |

Mslday,
ohhhhhhhhhh me toooooooooooooooo!!!! I hate even the refridgerater isles any time of the year *LOL* I forgot & wore sandles one day last summer & I ended up outside with my feet in the sun to warm up. I live in California & it was blazing [COLOR="Red"]HOTCOLOR] that day too, I am talking in the high 90's. But my poor feet & ankles were so feeling so cold. And sometimes I have noticed that when touched by say my husband, my ankles that is *LOL* he says they only feel a bit cool. To me they feel freezing cold.........go figure. All I know what my brain actually is telling me & the temperature they truly are rarely are the same........ DebbyV |

I can really relate. My daughter lives in Miami and I look forward to visiting - not only to see her, but to put my foot in the hot hot sun, or maybe bury it in the blazing hot sand on a beach. Funny thing is, though, that it is only my right foot. The left one is extra-warm. Sometimes I try to "equalize" the temperatures by holding them together but I can't find a comfortable position. I wait until the very end of my grocery trip and then rush through the refrigerator/freezer section of the grocery store. I have a very careful list and pretty much have the layout memorized, so I know exactly where to find things. LOL My wife also says my foot is just a little cool, not cold. Go figure. Mike |
