I don't have the temp. control issue but I wonder if taking capsaicin capsules might help those who do warm up from the inside I understand you need to build up your dosage if you try it.

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
