Anyway I have been a quadriplegic for almost 16 years now. It seems that every year it is harder to keep warm. I remember the first year I was hurt I wore shorts and tank tops all summer just to stay cool. Now after being a quad this long this long I end up wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt most of the summer just to stay warm. During the winter I wear sweatpants, two thermal shirts, a sweatshirt, a knit hat and have a blanket on me just to stay in the house. that doesn't even keep me warm. Even with all that and the house being about 73° I still have trouble keeping my temperature above 95°. It would be great if somebody on here had a miracle way to help this. I guess I am wondering if this is a typical quadriplegic problem for it to get worse every year. If it is it would be interesting to hear how other people cope with this. **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
