Hi everyone

I just got back from two weeks in Seattle, I was able to spend the holidays with

my grandchildren. It was lovely to be with them, but I was so cold, there was

rain, snow and frost, and I couldn't get warm even wearing thermals!.My daughter

cranked up the heat for me, but I was in a lot of pain, had to take extra dose

of my pain med. so i could even move. I've been back in Vegas for about four

days, and am still trying to thaw out, but at least the pain is diminishing. How

do you all who live in a state with different seasons manage? Is there some

secret I can take with me next time so i won't feel so miserable, or is it just

a matter of getting acclimatted? I felt like such an idiot with about three

layers of clothing, jackets, scarves and gloves on, and everyone up there has

short sleeves on! I had a great time, but it could have been better if i hadn't

been so cold and my bones aching so badly. It makes me wonder if it's true that

warm, dry climates are better for

arthritis. I had to use lidocaine patches to help with the pain, and I had just

started feeling almost normal from my neck fusion. One benefit was not having to

use so much moisturiser! It was so wonderful to see the kids, it had been a year

since I last saw them. I just had to keep telling them that Nana had to rest for

awhile, which made me feel very old. Well, I just had to vent a bit, and wonder

if anyone else feels the different weather in their bones when they travel.

Hi Jeannie welcome back. Glad to hear you got to enjoy the holidays

with your family. Speaking as someone who lives in a somewhat colder

state of the midweat, I know what you mean. I have come to HATE the

cold winters. I would gladly follow the geese and go south for the

winter if I could. But I couldn't leave my poor horses to spend the

winters alone. I think you do become used to the colder weather

somewhat when you live in a colder state BUT I can still tell it ups

my pain level when it gets bone chilling cold here. Most of the time

I keep in warm clothing and I keep the heat up higher than I used

too before my pain got bad. And on the really cold windy days I

still layer up in extra clothing and huddle under a warm quilt to

stay warm. A few years back I found a wonderful heavy vintage quilt

that I LIVE with all winter long. I kind of feel like Linus from

snoopy keeping it with me wherever I go in the house :) But hey It

keeps me WARM and thats what I care about.Thats my suggestion for

you, find yourself a heavy nice warm old quilt and bundle up with

the kids in a chair by the fire next time :) you'll be warm as a bug

in a rug :) Sharon Group Owner

Hello Jeannie,

I was glad to hear that you were able to spend the

time with your grandchildren. I know how it is to have

to tell the kids that you have to lay down. I've had

three spinal fusions in my lumbar region and a total

rotator cuff reconstruction .I have to tell mine the

same nearly every day. I noticed that you were useing

the lidocaine patches. Could I ask what size the

patches were and what persentage was the lidocaine?

Also, how did the patches compare to oral pain meds

you have taken? I wish you the best and thankyou for

your reply. buzz

Hi Buzz,

Before I re-type anything-

I sent a reply out to your email about the patches, and got something back

saying it was undeliverable. So, if messed up, or I did somehow, I'll

write again. Can you let me know if my previous message went out-it was

addressed to the group, but responding to your email. Let me know, I don't want

you to think I was blowing you off!

Thanks, and sorry for any mix-up

Jeannie
