Hello everyone . Winter time is here once again. So many of us are trying to find the best remedies of staying warm during the day and as we sleep. The minimal pain we have the better. I as so many others would love to hear, how you handle the winters .
Thanks for taking the time to respond .
Lots of love and hugs

I use a big heating blanket and wrap myself in it. That way I can control how warm I need it plus it acts as one big heating pad. Also I have polar fleece sheets that are very soft and warm, yet thin and very comfortable. So they don't hurt to touch my skin. Hope this helps you.

I would say layer, layer, and layer. You can always take a sweater off if you get warm. I also use 'cuddle duds' under my clothes, they are underwear. If you really get cold at night you could wear the long underwear. I get hot at night because my mattress has a small layer of foam and that creates heat for me. There are heated mattress pads for those who are cold. Wear a hat and scarves and double glove. Thick warm socks and warm boots.

@A MyFibroTeam Member I understand what your saying. I'm the same way. I start with heat but also have a fan on at the same time. It's very frustrating.

BTW don't use mattress pads or heating pads on a TemporPedic mattress. It will hold the heat and could cause a burn or fire.
