Re: [QUAD-L] Cold

[B. Kimberlin]

When I go to the football games here in the dead heat of September I have to have spray bottles and ice packs with me also. It is just part of being a quadriplegic and something I except. Unfortunately, you seem to be more sensitive to the heat than I am and that is not unusual. Maybe you could find a middle ground where the weather is decent during the summer and not terribly cold during the winter. I would love to move to Hawaii if I had the money. I lived there for three years when I was younger and the weather was fantastic. There isn't even a need for a heater.

I guess I�m a cold quad it seems like I�m always cold. But I can�t do heat good either. I had heat stroke a few times, its easier 4 me 2 warm up than 2 cool down. In the summer I have 2 be real careful drink fluids, keep a wet washcloth near, spray bottle, ice or cold pax. And it�ll hit me fast and hard I�m fine 1 minute than just fall over drained of all energy. I was coming across the parking lot last summer than just couldn�t push anymore, couldn�t even situp in my chair. Had 2 get someone 2 push me home call my agency, pack ice bags on neck, groin area it�s funny what you�ll ask a stranger 2 do in dire emergencies. I�d love 2 move down south in the future, I can deal with the cold but can�t stand the snow anymore, I can dress warm but getting around in snow is DAMN near impossible at times :(

It seems every year is worse for me.  I'm sitting here in my 70� house with a thermal T-shirt covered by a sweater and a small blanket in my lap.  I still feel cold.  I can't eat or drink anything cold without cooling my body down so much that I get the shivers.  I cannot wait for spring.
