    My hands hurt like that when its very cold - but I don't recall it ever being accompanied by nausea - on the other hand I've become quite nauseated by overheating when the surrounding atmosphere is chilly - especially if I warm up fast. Could you have warmed the rest of your body up too much, while trying to warm your hands?

    As far as keeping your hand from hurting so bad. My winning combination has finally been, wool glove liners, full finger gloves and add hand warmers when its really cold.

    I've also never had the nausea problem, but I get extremely cold, painful hands once the temps start to fall. I was thinking about getting a pair of these: Barmitts

    If you get a pair review them! My biggest concern would be control of the bike.... but it doesn't look like they should really interfere?? I'm not so sure about having my hands nearly attached to the bars though..

    When I saw the name I thought they would be something that bartenders wear. Shows you where my mind is...

    p.s. They should offer them in screaming yellow, too.

    Hmmmmmm--nausea from being overheated. Maybe the reverse is true sometimes. But I didn't warm up fast. And I do have some really warm gloves and have used hand warmers. It just didn't seem that cold when I started out. I guess all the cold found my poor, old hands! I won't make that mistake again.

    Thanks, ladies!

    Wow! I just looked at the Barmitts. Those look wonderful. I'd like a report on those, too.

    Oh, I get nauseous whenever I thaw frozen fingers too ("neglesprett", we call it - literally "fingernail bounce"...) The short but quite intense pain makes me go all queasy for a few minutes.
