Just a question... What I have noticed is that when I tilt my chair back, for pressure relief, I start getting cold quite quickly… and also when I get in bed... really cold with plenty of covers.
I used to feel hot when getting to bed.. flushed face… and never needed pressure relief. Is this just me getting older or has anyone had similar and found a medical reason. My consultant puts it down to the SCI but cannot explain the change? Anyone help?
