Guest guest Posted January 14, 2001 Report Share Posted January 14, 2001 Yes,me too, I am always cold. I even have a little foot pad I can slip my feet into while I am on the computer. I sleep in a waterbed and I have two blankets and a comforter covering me. My joints start hurting about 24 hrs before a change in weather. Well,I had my ultrasound yesterday and everything looked okay except they couldn't find my gall bladder. I was on the table for 2-1/2 hrs while 3 different technicians tried to locate it. They kept asking me if I was sure it had never been removed. Finally they called in a doctor and he couldn't find it anywhere. They finally said I could leave. My sisterwas waiting for me and she was worried why I was in there for so long,when I told her,she said,well doesn't that just figure,you came here and left your gall bladder at home. I was down at Sunnybrook Hospital all day today and all day tomorrow taking an additional course with Patient Partners. I am so tired from working my brain,I probably won't get all my mail read until Monday. Welcome to any new people I may have missed.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2001 Report Share Posted January 14, 2001 Pam, The cold is my worst enemy. Just like you I chill all the way to the bone. I have an electric blanket for my bed and one in my favorite chair. Sometimes I have to take a hot bath to shake the chill. Then after getting a chill, I tense my muscles and wind up with a fibro flare. I hate winter anymore. I used to love the snow, but now it represents being house bound and pain.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2001 Report Share Posted January 14, 2001 Hi Pam, a and everybody! I, too, suffer from the effects of the cold. As long as I am toasty warm (I surround myself with fleece year round, as it's seemingly always damp and chilly here in the Northwest!!) Hot chocolate and warm bath help, too! Interestingly enough, when I was back East (in Northwest NH) I wasn't ever really cold (even when I got on skies twice!)because it's a dry cold in NE.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2001 Report Share Posted January 14, 2001 Pam, , my 11 yr old son who has JRA with related lung disease gets very cold down to the bones even though he runs a low grade fever and when we have a cold spell coming (we live in alabama) he hurts but also we can tell when we are going to have lots of rain and tornados but the amount of his pain. He also hurts when it gets very hot and humid. the weather we have been having has been sort of comfortable for him but right before a major change in weather he will get very ill. Watching him tells me when to keep the tv on the wheater channel. he is a better warning single then the weatherman. shelly and jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
