Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Cryoglobulin
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Ok, I'll never snigger at an ancient montagnard ESF instructor again! I Listened in on a chairlift conversation between instructor and his client, the latter revealing just how much he suffered from the cold and numb extremities. The red-faced (no obvious signs of cryoglobulin there) instructor was suggesting to an increasingly blanche-faced client that he may have a cryoglobulin condition.

So, he might have been getting slightly confused with the science involved when he began describing lumps of ice floating around the bloodstream (ever more worried-looking client!)... but he wasn't completely talking through his proverbial.

Cryoglobulin.
Quote:
Cryoglobulin clumps in cold temperatures. This physical characteristic causes people with cryoglobulin to have symptoms during cold weather: blanching, numbness, and pain in their fingers or toes (Raynaud's phenomenon); bleeding into the skin (purpura); and pain in joints (arthralgia). People with these symptoms or any other symptoms that appear in cold weather should be tested for cryoglobulin.

I seriously doubt whether anyone who suffers from occasionally numb fingers and toes should dash round to the surgery and demand a cryoglobulin test, but hey, what would I know... Very Happy
