Re: [QUAD-L] staying warm in bed with a heating pad
A few tips I've tried... 1. When I was in Seattle, I was always cold. I found wearing a fleece hat helped a lot. When my ears were cold, I would shiver. I still wear it at night.2 I also would keep a small heated pad, like 24x24in blanket on my lap. I was able to keep a check on it's temp so it did not burn. Found it at the drug store. 3. At night I tried wearing a t-shirt, but it would twist up. So I cut the back off, I left the collar and sleeves on. So I wear it like a hospital gown like thing. I started that when I was stuck in bed for awhile. 4. I just got this neck warmer thing. It just slips over your head and you wear it like it's a turtle neck. It feels like it's silk soft but it's not that cold feeling of silk. I think it's polyester. It's like someone cut the neck off a turtle neck shirt. I use it at night when it cools off outside. 5. Not tried it, but I just read a web page for Permobil wheelchairs (think it was them). It said an option was a hand heater. It had a clear plastic cover over your hand area. Like a motorcycle windshield. then blows warm air on your hands. Cool idea. 6. Layer clothing. Turtleneck under a sweater. 7. If all else fails, my life saver was a gas fire place.

Re: [QUAD-L] staying warm in bed with a heating pad
I use a weighted (with beads) heating pad that I also put on my chest, or my shoulders if I'm on my side. I put it in the microwave for only 10 Seconds, but when I'm up and have bad neck pain, I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. I live in Northern New Jersey.

Re: [QUAD-L] staying warm in bed with a heating pad
I post the heating pad. I love it. I put it on my chest, where I can feel & it gets me warm quick. Dianna I have situation that I get really cold here in the Midwest and my father is only willing to turn the heat up to 73. I have a large master bedroom and use one of those oil filled heaters that takes hours to really feel anything, then your to hot. I actually put a thermometer next to my tv so I know what the actual temp is in the room. This kinda works but I freeze at times. I tried a heating blanket years ago and got burned when the blanket got wedged between my knees. Somebody on the list had a heating pad trick. Im thinking maybe put is under my upper body where I still have feeling, maybe partially under pillow. Anybody mastered this trick.

RE: [QUAD-L] staying warm in bed with a heating pad
I use a heating pad when I first go to bed, and it turns off after 2 hours. But I have no feeling below my shoulders, and I found that I do not benefit from a electric blanket. I also use one of the "snakes" that you heat in the microwave on top of my head when I first go to bed (just like an infant keep the head warm). My problem is I get cold during the day when we have no sunshine, so I bought a small radiant heater from harbor freight which I can set at 400 watts, and the visual radiant helps me to feel warm. It is only $29.95 so was very economical. I think it's more of a perceived problem for me than actual cold. Thank goodness we have 292 days of sunshine a year.

Re: [QUAD-L] staying warm in bed with a heating pad
Hello Ronald, I purchased one of those small floor heaters that get their heat from some kind of infrared heating element. It heats up pretty quickly, and has a thermostat on it, so it will turn off and on, depending on how hot/cold the temperature is inside my bedroom. I think it cost me about $120.
