Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 We just had a vicious cold snap here in south Florida for more than a week, with several nights of freezing temperatures (that is extremely unusual for us!). Can I just say that now I appreciate how much worse it is for y'all who live in the northern states! I have been practically immobile for the past week. I mean, I've got it all - heating pads, blankets, cats, socks - you name it - but the cold almost seems to make my blood sluggish. I have been unable to do just about anything. Something to consider if you're thinking about moving - cold and rain DEFINATELY make this disease worse! Stay warm, everyone! - ljg > > > Last night was about 25-30 degrees celcius overnight we have had over 40 for 4 days!! Cool change sort of 26 today but raining and very humid > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: b1write > Socks are among my best friends. I have sleep socks to match my gowns. My cat snuggles in my lap and keeps me warm when I sit on the sofa. He's trying to get me to move there now, keeps on jumping in my lap and purring then jumping off. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I have been bed ridden for almost 2 weeks due to this cold weather in florida. I have a heated mattress pad and I works wonders, almost no stiffness but can't leave the bed and do anything too cold.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I live in New York and have been dealing with weather below zero as we do most winters some worse then others...the pain and the stiffness is intolerable but I tread along as best I can. It is so much worse for me in the cold months...I would love to go south But then I have problems also with the humidity with my fatigue I think I would rather deal with that then the severe pain though..hmmmm  Love Ya!~Debra ~ I am in Kentucky and the past week we have been in the 20s highs and lows in single digits or below.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Debbie, Just a quite note to tell you I enjoy your posts. I hope you get that warm-up soon. I'm off to the hopefully Sunny South myself to visit my family. If it's warm, I will be so happy but January is so iffy.
