thanks for your comments and Boy *1 still...Hi all,<br /><br />thanks for your comments and Boy *1 still has them, but I found a homeopathic remedy which does seem to be helping as it's supposed to improve your circulation. Only time will tell if it gets rid of them though. And since we're leaving for Moscow in just over 2 weeks and the temperature there is currently -5 degC on a warm day and -20degC on a cold one, I'm really hoping for a positive outcome on this one!Potty Mummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751869800592294891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-60764604200181324092009-12-20T22:56:20.824+00:002009-12-20T22:56:20.824+00:00I suffer with chidblains - have you tried those ba...I suffer with chidblains - have you tried those bags of cherry stones, they don't go cold which might helpMuddling Alonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702217530704657676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-65550621387431910192009-12-20T04:41:15.808+00:002009-12-20T04:41:15.808+00:00OK.

Now I know and I am so glad to know it just wasn't me being a total freak about things!<br /><br />Yeah, I would have woke up at 5 a.m. and screamed for you too. Seriously....who wants their hot water bottle to go cold? I used to have those in my bed at night because we had an old and drafty house when I was a child. I loved those hot water bottles...until they got cold of course.Lisa @ Boondock Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430994283914399581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-870015768164500132009-12-19T21:41:57.048+00:002009-12-19T21:41:57.048+00:00I had chilblains all thru my childhood.

My Mum would take the hot water bottle away once I was in bed as she insisted that putting your feet on it would encourage more chilblains. Try thermal bed-socks at night. At least if they come off he can put them back on for himself.sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03247276433803886670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-22991599023552233572009-12-18T19:54:43.406+00:002009-12-18T19:54:43.406+00:00I have had them since I was a kid! Thank you for t...I have had them since I was a kid! Thank you for this validation that it is not just my weird feet! I find them worse in cold damp weather and I cannot ever wear socks to bed because they need the air. Doesn't it break your heart that they inherit all of our worst conditions! Funny about the hot water bottle because my son is addicted to ice packs at night! Heat makes him itch. Stop refilling it!

Which it might do soon; it's minus 8 today.<br /><br />I've never had chilblains, but at boarding school we were always told you could get them from sitting on radiators. I wonder whether this is true or whether just a ploy to stop us sitting on radiators?nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175562867822111389.post-27638256497157457692009-12-18T13:37:17.370+00:002009-12-18T13:37:17.370+00:00Heather, well, I'm afraid I didn't.
