The bad part is I still have to go out and go shopping. I want fall, winter, spring, anything but summer.

Mary, a separate air conditioner in your 'room' is a great idea.I live in Arizona and we already had 109 in May. I survive by keeping the air reasonably cool,
(too cool for my husband, but he can take more clothes off and I can't) and I use ceiling fan and floor fan, (not directly on me but it does pull the air conditioner better in my 'special room' I am grateful for the swimming pool and swim every day. I wait till sun is nearly gone and cool off. Right now I'm swimming 1 hr and 20 minutes. I believe it has kept me mobile and walking. My toes did start to curl upward, and exercising in the pool ,swimming, and massage therapy on my feet got them back touching the floor in a few months a couple years ago. My family, husband and daughter,son-in-law, have been wonderful, with the grocery shopping, cooking, and major cleaning. I'm 61 and just to a hormone specialist. She has been doing compounding hormones for 25 years and I see her again after my tests and will start on the compounding hormones. I'm hoping that will help with my body 'heat' and lack of sleeping well. I know it's the RSD, but maybe the compounding hormones will help a little. We need all the help we can get right? Have you see Oprah and Dr. Phil show about this method of replacement? We just had company for 10 days, friends that come every 2 years, they are both in the medical field and she has been on them for about 10 years and have helped her.
Mary, now we can picture you in your igloo that Dew made a picture of,CUTE. Hope you have a good day. Your friend, loretta
