I feel the same way guys. The sun just does wonders for me. And I am sitting by my space heater right now. I used to use a hair drier until I fell asleep and burned my stomach 3rd degree. I just cannot tolerate the cold. Mix cold sweat with cold air and you get neckcicles, ice on the collar,

A year after my injury, in Wisconsin, I went off to college at the University of WI - Stevens Point, which is about dead center of the state. I knew nothing about my spinal cord injury except that I was cold all the time and missed a lot of classes because I didn't want to leave my hot

I too am a sun junkie. I'm in the Loa Angeles area and it's great weather. I have a killer spot on my patio to sit and warm up. I hate the AC in summer. I get cold so fast then back outside to warm up. I luv the warmth of my van in the winter. I go for drives just to use the heater. Being cold
