For those of us with an underactive thyroid problem, winter can be particularly miserable, because sometimes, we just can't get our hands and feet warm. A wonderful solution...handwarmers and footwarmers that you can take anywhere with you. These are an especially great gift for someone who also has Raynaud's disease, which makes fingers and toes especially susceptible to the cold.

Just break open one of these handy, self-contained packets, tuck them into your mittens or boots, and they generate heat for as long as 8 hours! No more frosty fingers or popsicle toes!
