I'd advise that you not leave your mother. You have a comfort space there with her. You also have someone to help in case of an emergency. And who is to say what your health is going to do in the future. If it got worse and you were alone somewhere far away, what would you do? There are at least one or two of us who live alone without spouse or family. They have a difficult time. You need the emotional support if nothing else.

As Dakota says, wear down booties and use a small electric space heater in your vicinity. There are some other tricks too. Like the little chemical toe and hand warmers that you put in your shoes and gloves or pockets. Liza Jane uses them in NY.

I live in Texas and it is 100+ here. I find it really makes no difference to my pain. I still freeze, shiver and have chills. All of this while I am sweating. I've found that on the whole, my pain is better when it's cold. But it really doesn't make that much difference.

While you are still living where you are, or perhaps staying with your Mom briefly, you could take short trips to the other regions to see if it makes any difference in your pain.

Whatever you do, think this out and don't make rash decisions. There is something to be said about having family near.
