My husband has the "bitch" too, besides me, the CH Bitch I mean. We live in Ontario on a lake as well and he has often done the Pounding in the snow. He has gone down to the lake where the creek feeds in, there is always open water there and taken off his boots and stood in the icey water. He has stuck his head into the snowbank, tried any number of things.
Your friends might not understand Hon, but we all do! Hang in there.
The one piece of advice that I can give you is to tell anyone close to you to visit this site. I did it two years ago when I found it with family memebers that didn't understand how Greg couldn't just "go lay down and rest" when he had a "headache" this information here sure helped them all understand the "bitch" very well. Might just give them the insight they need to be more supportive for you.
Just wondering, do your feet get really, really hot? Greg's get like fire when he is in cycle.
Take care and hold on. We are all here for you.
