Re: coldness and drastic changes in temperature

[Guest guest]

Hello

Being a 41 year old male and feeling 2x or 3x as old in cold or

heavily air condition areas is no fun.

Since I have a alot of muscle atrophy, I believe my circulation is

severly limited and then with nerves short circuiting, this causes the feeling

of being cold and makes me sleepy, sometimes I think I am cold blooded and need

to hibernate. HAHA

My solution is to wear heavy weight underwear both tops and bottoms,

the long underwear bottoms have moisture wicking ability, most of tbem are

expedition weight from Patagonia.

Also smart wool socks that are knee high, UGG type sheepskin boots

over my AFOs, fleece lined sweat pants and sweat shirts.

Long sleeved T shirts in the summer, even if it is 90 degrees outside, I am only

outside for just so long before back into the air conditioning.

I just do what I have to do, to survive and be comfortable, even if

I look out place in the current weather or location, no one can be sure of what

will happen next, do we need to got the store or whatever,cannot change clothes

many times a day.

Usually I don't have as much of a problem with my top half as I do

with my upper thighs on down, so the heavier the better on the bottom

and lighter on top.

I keep a winter coat in the car if I need it, plus I try to avoid

situations of being in the cold without being prepared for it.

i have started to keep a jacket or even a blanket so if i am somewhere where it

is too cold, i can drape it over my legs. My upper body also stays much warmer

than my lower body. In the winter i wear socks that come up over my knees and

try to layer socks on my lower legs.

i will usually put an extra blanket on my legs when sitting at the computer or

watching tv and also like to take a blanket to the movies (why do they have to

make it soooo cold in the movies???LOL)

Hi ,

I am very sensitive to cold. I really don't have any tricks other

then an electric blanket a hot shower and long socks. I won't go into a drafty

house or building in the winter. I keep my heater on but everyone complains and

turns it down. I finally have a van that has dual controls for the heat so my

husband gets a little break from my high fry heat when driving.

Have you checked the CosySoles website: www.cosysoles.ca The heated slippers and

mitts may be helpful.

Warm Wishes,
