Re: [QUAD-L] Freezing, yet it's 90

Greg,

I'm a fellow sufferer of the ice arms and general all over cold
feeling.  Mine seems to be tied to my bladder so I irrigate a couple
times a week to keep the bacteria count down.  That and a
combination of Lyrica and the tricyclic antidepressant imipramine. 
It's the latter that really helps but can't recommend it without
telling you that a paralytic ileus is a POSSIBLE side effect.  For
me it's worth the risk even though I've had a paralytic ileus
because the cold sensations are so awful.

  I
  am just not sleeping. Tried everything. It's a few issues, not
  falling asleep, waking up every 10 minutes, Waking up at 2am
  and not get getting back to sleep, etc. Lately it's feeling
  cold.
   
  It
  was really bad for awhile, but the last few months were
  better. Now it's back. Even if I fall asleep, I wake up
  uncontrollably shaking cold. But I know I'm not cold. I can
  feel he heat coming off my body. If I uncover, I get colder as
  the air touches me, but then I get better. After awhile I get
  cold again from bare arms. It's like I'm overheating and it
  makes me feel shaky cold. I'm talking can't drive my chair I'm
  so shaky and tight. Though I know I'm not cold, the only thing
  that helps is going out in the sun.
   
  Now
  the uncontrollable shaking is in the day too. But from the Air
  Conditioning. It not fair to everyone else to let it get too
  hot inside. But even if I set it at 82/83, when it comes on it
  blows just as cold. The hotter it is outside, the warmer I
  dress inside. It's just worse than normal.
   
  Maybe
  I'll go get a UTI test tomorrow.
   
  Greg

Re: [QUAD-L] FIngerless gloves

You can look at Wal-Mart in the workout section they have several different 
kinds. Ebay has hundreds of fingerless workout type gloves. Those are the 
cheapest places to pick them up, medical outlets charge more

thanks Wheelmy wife found a brand new pair of leather type gloves in my 
drawer and cut them just in front of the thumb and finger seams and they work 
perfect !  Thanks so much...I think at times we just get brain freeze and don't 
always think of the simplest solutions. Dan H***

When our power went out last summer I looked for backup options, without
needing to start the gas generator. I found this and got one. It worked
great to keep the cablemodem and wifi router running for at least 2 hrs
during the next outage.

One of these would work to backup bed and mattress for an hour or more
