I doubt anybody has an answer to this being it is part of being a quadriplegic. 
 Anyway I have been a quadriplegic for almost 16 years now.  It seems that 
every year it is harder to keep warm.  I remember the first year I was hurt I 
wore shorts and tank tops all summer just to stay cool.  Now after being a quad 
this long this long I end up wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt most of the 
summer just to stay warm.  During the winter I wear sweatpants, two thermal 
shirts, a sweatshirt, a knit hat and have a blanket on me just to stay in the 
house.  that doesn't even keep me warm.  Even with all that and the house being 
about 73° I still have trouble keeping my temperature above 95°.
It would be great if somebody on here had a miracle way to help this.  I guess 
I am wondering if this is a typical quadriplegic problem for it to get worse 
every year.  If it is it would be interesting to hear how other people cope 
with this.
