What winter socks would you recommend, best material for keeping feet warm?

Are your feet cold in the cab? The floor heat on my volvo is frustratingly hot, feet sweat like crazy, if I leave food on the floor it melts, etc (chocolate for example).

 

THIS IS VERY CONCERNING!!!!!!

What you are describing matches the description of blood clotting (Deep vein thrombosis or DVT).

You do NOT need to smoke, be overweight, or diabetic to get DVT's. There are VERY common genetic (inherited) deficiencies in several populations (such as Factor V Leiden) that lead to blood clots, especially in the legs. Those clots can plug up your leg veins, which is bad enough, but one of those clots to the heart or brain can instantly kill you.

How do I know this? My uncle dropped dead at age 42 in front of his 3 year old from throwing a clot. I limped into an emergency room with multiple bi-lateral embolisms in my lungs...... This stuff is serious.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE go see a doctor for a referral.

 

I don't want you to worry too much, if diagnosed, a little pill a day will take care of it. My life is normal in just about every way, but it did contribute to my decision to stop driving long haul runs.

 

Raw garlic, raw onions and aspirin (salicylic acid) are all natural blood thinners. Just don't eat too much of any of them or it takes forever to stop bleeding. Riding a bicycle and walking (especially up and down hills) are great for leg circulation.

Oatmeal, salad, yogurt, Dave's Killer Bread (super seed or whole grain) and any kind of bean will get rid of those hemorrhoids. Your butthole is like a modern day girlfriend, if you push too hard it'll get bent out of shape. Being stressed out and/or not drinking enough water/ juice will also make that exit tough.

 

Very true and helpful, but for someone with a genetic clotting deficiency like I have, those are 1's and 2's when you need medicine that's more like a 9 or a 10.

But I do eat lots of onions and garlic, as well.

 

You should cancel that order on your boots. Then go in and try on cowboy boots. They are made better to match your foot. I can't wear a Tony Lama. I don't have a Tony Lama foot. But I definitely have a Justin foot. Idiot me didn't try Justin work boots for many years. Just got a pair. Probably the best work boot I have ever worn. Just because of the fit.
They do a better job of fitting with cowboy boots. They put more into making them for fitting right. When you get it right. It's really right. And really comfortable.

EDIT: Anything country in clothes is always extremely comfortable.
Did you know why cowboy boots have pointed toes? It's because horses will step on your toes to be mean. That gives them something to step on, but not your toe.

 

On the socks. I grew up on the Gulf Coast. Winter is very wet. Any cold sinks in to the bone.
Since growing up. I've lived in dry climates.
I wonder just how much wool will help on the Gulf Coast in winter? Or any high humidity environment. I'm thinking alot?

 

Beware of Doctors. Number one is to make money. Taking care of you is secondary, at best.
Pay attention to Doctor Bernstein. He's the authority on Diabetes. Says if you want to get better with Diabetes. Don't listen to your doctor.
Start listening more to these natural healers and proactive treatment people. Dr. John Bergman on youtube. Dr. Carolyn Dean. There is much you can do on clogged arteries/ heart disease. Apple Cider vinegar is a knock out on clogged arteries. Fish oil... good fish oil helps a ton.

Did you realize there are cures all over the world for Cancer? Our "Doctors" don't want to do that because they don't make money. The cure is all the same. But done differently. It's simple. Detox the body. Boost the immune system. .... It works.
