Hi, I am brand-new to this, but in my short time this is what I have found that helps me. I too have the high-thread count sheets...but the satin ones are awsome! They are light weight, smooth, yet warm (though I have no idea why I would be cold when it's like 100 here). The only con is that they are a pain too keep on the bed if you have kids or pets. I use my slow-cooker a lot to fix dinner now. I can spend a good part of today slowly prepping the food (though sometimes no prep is really needed) then tomorrow morning I put it all together, turn it on and 8 hours later a good and good-for-you meal and I didn't really do anything. For some reason, shaving my legs helps. Yes, the act of shaving feels really wierd and does hurt, but not nearly as bad as when my leg gets cold and the hairs stand on end, to me, that hurts worse. I also where those big, furry, flip-flop slippers.
Hope this helps anyone...i know i'm gonna try some ideas i've read
