I find that I am cold when I go to bed. Snuggle down in my nightwear and the
down comforter and am okay. I like the down comforter as it is lightweight but
very warm. But wake up a few hours later and am so hot and sweating terribly
that I end up wearing 'zip' for the rest of the night but still need the down
comforter. By morning I seem to be okay again - sort of 'normal' (whatever
that is for TMer's) temp. But my lower legs are cold. So I wear those 'leg
warmers' (like in the movie Flashdance from the 1980's) until it is time to get
dressed.
The cold just stiffens up all the muscles etc and don't go too far during
coldest days.
In summer I'm like Barney, temp around mid 70's is the best.

Jude,
Temperature control is the only thing that my doc said would not
return!.......
that said, I have found that silk underwear is the best thing to
help.....Silk
is nice to your skin and light weight, so you need fewer heavy
blankets!!
I get my silks from Winter Silks, which has a 20% off sale right now.
The
web site is: www.wintersilks.com
Hope this helps!
Hugs,

Hi All,
Is anyone else out there suffering from that bone-chilling cold
that settles deeply into your bones and nothing you do helps to warm you up?
I began to get cold earlier in the evening and have had Dave
put mega blankets on me until they are so heavy I can barely lift them. I now
have a queen sized silk blanket doubled on top of all of my other covers on my
small hospital bed.
This kind of cold came with the Transverse Myelitis and I don't
believe it will ever go away. At least there is no kind of medication to warm
me up that I know of. Does anyone out there have a clue?
I know that some of you have also felt this chilling cold.
What do you do to combat it? It is ridiculous the lengths I go to in order to
be able to sleep, but am so uncomfortable that I can't.
At least I am tired enough to give it a go...
Jude
