I get cold feet or hands, if I concentrate on a particular thing. Does anyone else find this?

A thoght occurs to me, from my younger, fitter days( long before being in a wheelchair). I used to do a lot of cycling, I used to where fingerless cycling gloves. These had semi open backs and soft chamois leather palms. Oficially known as mitts I believe. Any use.

My son has FA, he's 24 and suffers from cold hands all the time. He wears fingerless gloves which help and he can then still use his ipad etc. If he's just watching tv he'll have a warm hot water bottle. Funily enough earlier today he was saying his hands were really cold while he was using his computer and I said he could do with the mouse mat having some sort of built in cover over the mouse to keep his hand warm!! Probebly a daft idea but I'll have to give it some thought!!!
