Chilblains
Its been a pleasant day weather wise, I haven't resorted to the cold water bottle yet in bed, so why have I got chilblains ! ?Are they a 'memory' condition - always there lurking ?
My feet are raging with hot pins and needles, so they aren't cold are they ?
I guess its a case of I'm just not made right

Re: Chilblains
I had to look that up, didn't know what chilblains were. That doesn't sound fun to deal with.This isn't exactly the same thing, but I have a bunion on my right foot (a family curse that I've inherited) and I have to buy special extra wide shoes (for work and public) and wear slippers (at home) just to be comfortable. Which really stinks because I can't wear my favorite hiking boots anymore without ending up in pain because of it.

Re: Chilblains
You mention a memory condition and I believe they are, when steven was a milkman he got chilblains that would start at his hip and go all the way down to well below his knees about 8 inches wide. On the leg nearest the door of the milk float.Each year they came earlier, in the end a cold snap in the summer could start them off.
One of the reasons I was so happy when he eventually left that job.
One thing his doctor did say was try and keep the blood flow as best you can in the areas you get them, don't let the area go cold through lack of circulation.
