When I get into my heated waterbed on a cold night I wrap this heated, herbalscented wrap around my neck... phenomenal!

The cold sensations I feel in my arms are just awful.  My arms feel like they're soaking in ice water.  It's never a burning feeling for me though.  I take imipramine and tegretol.  It helps but it's far from a cure.

I use to think it was just me that felt that awful cold. It makes me hurt to my very soul. I use a small heater by my bed but once I'm cold, it takes hours to get warm. The worst part is, cold hurts! I love to feel warm sunlight but that's rare in Ohio. I take valium as needed, and hydrocodone for pain, but I cant say it is all that great since I have to O.D. to get the effect of pain relief when it is bad. I've tracked it and found that when the pain is worst is when my blood pressure is very high. I'm not sure what to do about it since my BP will drop to very low and nobody seems to understand it to any helpful degree. I'm fairly certain that both problems stem from the hypothalmus and pituitary glands not functioning. I also suffered brain damage so maybe it is just me. I'd sure like to know what y'all have found to work on pain. Sleep doesn't count. And I do smoke a little marijuana to help fall asleep.
