Question for all: when you get the icy cold feeling, is your skin cold to the touch? I'm getting this throughout my right arm, shoulder, and top of the back but my skin feels warm, and it's even in areas that I have normal sensation. VERY odd to feel that way.

In fact, it feels like an icicle right now. I assume it is a circulation problem. I warm them with my small heater. That is about all I know to do. Aggravating, but a minor issue in the grand scheme of quadom.

We have cold sweats, clammy and miserable, not heat sweat like a runner might have. We freeze and then start tightening our neck and shoulders into a knot of pain that further increases the misery. I can't count the days I have sat with a hair dryer blowing on my face and neck. It really angers me when doctors say the equivalent of "Take an aspirin and call me in the morning." Quality of life means something, and a life of constant misery is not one of quality.
