Hi, It's very simple if you think back to med school: Circulation in the capillary beds is affected by NEUROLOGICAL CONTROL. We have lost NEUROLOGICAL CONTROL secondary to the T.M. Lesion, so our legs swell and get cold, and actually our hands and arms get cold easily and have trouble warming up. The answer is so simple, even a first year medical sudent would know the answer, but doctors have more to worry about: student loans, malpractice insurance, morgages, boat payments, country club dues, yacht club dues, rental payments for mistress's apartment, etc. hope that enlightens. pH
