I have an electric throw (not as big as an electric blanket, and doesnt seem to get as warm as an electric blanket would)

I refused to use it for two years because it would always make my numbness feel worse. I started using it again a few days ago because I'm freezing all the time here now. (gas fireplace in the basement that helped keep the draft from the back door down a bit malfunctioned a few weeks ago...nearly caused a fire. It's being replaced next month)

It better not be a cancer risk. I've actually been enjoying using an electric blankie again. I've been putting it on my computer chair to warm up the chair, with a regular blanket on top of it. Once the chair is warm, I can sit down with both blankets and be toasty warm while reading the forums and watching television on the internet.
