Is something wrong with my gloves or my fingers?

[ericrayl]

I've read that nerves that control blood flow to extremities are in your neck. Cold hands used to be a problem for me and for many years I've been wearing turtlenecks when I ski, which seems to help a lot.

And ditch those gloves for mittens.

Didn't read all...

my bad.

But on the Raynaud's front...

alcohol is a vasal dilator... (when those cappillaries shut down, a couple hits of red wine turns your fingers into bright red snausages of warmth...)

tough to do on a daily/hourly/skiing basis...

but windmill arms really helps.

My fave bartender (Carrie) brings me a mug of hot water to wrap my mitts around the minute she sees my fingers on a cold night... but a shot works better... I'm just not practiced enough to order it.
