Ivan.... A resounding YES to the cold hands/feet/legs problem. I have an upstairs AND downstairs heating pad just for those times. Makes for a comfortable and FAST relief of icy-body-part-symptoms. FYI...I just received a catalog that offers a CREAM that when rubbed into the cold areas of one's body, can raise the temp as much as 38 DEGREES. I cannot endorse this product however, so am hesitant to post it on the List. The catalog itself is very interesting, offering unique and quality products which mostly are female oriented, tho many ARE useful to males as well, in my opinion. To order the catalog, and remembering I have no financial interest in this company, call or write: SelfCare 104 Challenger Dr. Portland, Tennessee 37148-4021 (800) 345-1848 <-- 24 hour calling www.selfcare.com Enjoy...
