chilling can be AD. It may hurt you to lean back but since you don't feel it, your body still does. Are you on a sore/tender spot? Damn wrinkles turn to ginsu knives after a few hours. Try taking pain meds a half hour before getting in bed and see if it helps.

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?
