Hi Belle,
I am a C4-5 complete also & I use to stay cold all the time, but now I handle
the cold much better. Hopefully with time you won't be so cold. I know what you
mean about the facility not letting you use a neck warmer or heating pad. I was
in a facility for 5 1/2yrs. So I had my Dr write for an order thru PT to let me
use one of these warmers, can't remember what they are called, that have a pad,
looks like bubble wrap on one side & has a little warmer the nurses fills up
with water. John's explanation was great. Hopefully your scarf around your neck
will help. Sitting in the sun also helps, find a nice sunny window.
