[QUOTE=DapperButch;430953]Hi, Yellow band.

I agree with the warm soak idea. Cold is what I am trying to get away from!

I have a pair of insulated rubber dipped gloves I keep near the refidgerator...reaching into there, or the freezer is pain for the rest of the day. I wear wool socks most of the time. I wear the thorlo's...they come in I, II, and III...and they come in all heights too....for example,in the summer, I wear the ones as they allow for maximum wicking, they sweating of the feet, in our case, if not released 100% will make the neuropathy start.....they come in footies in the I....now i'm into the II...and they are ankle height. Winter thorlo III are mid cafe. I also bought the wool sock liners.....again because of wicking. I wear these light weight gloves indoors. Too bad what they look like. It's either the gloves, or I am at a high level of irritable from the pain. I bought the gloves at REI. They were only $20.00. I'm typing in them now. (It's still cool and raining, and I have tingling hands and feet)...I went to pain management to learn about this, as it has been 5 years and is part of my life. They key to living with it is to try to not set it off. TRUE!
