Hi Julie,
First, I've no information that capsaicin cream can be taken internally!!!!
Maybe that's not what you meant to write..?
I was thinking about crushing up some jalopenos or other peppers or using some hot thai or other hot sauce just to see how it would work. However the way they formulate the cream, it really gets right through the skin--keep rubbing and your skin is dry as if you didn't put anything on it, so there's probably something there.
Interesting stuff on the anatomy. I remember learning what you described in anatomy a long time ago, but reading your post makes me want to go back to the books just for self re-edification.
I agree that muscle work may make the vascular symptoms of coldness go away and that if not, a proper medical evaluation is in order, or if symptoms worsen, swelling develops or anything else suggesting progressive blood vessel involvement. I also agree the good news is probably not !
all best, please don't put the capsaicin cream on your toast in the morning!
