Great advice above.

I was also very cold and still do get cold easily. I found that daily hot baths and using some type of natural oil for self massage is necessary.I love to use Weleda Rose oil or any of their oils but they get expensive. I was going through too many lotions too fast. Now I use safflower oil, the organic type can be used as a beauty product. I noticed that you have back and neck trauma are probably very tight. Also recovering we just are not as active as we used to be. Being cold is exhausting and uses up a lot of energy.

Where I live is warm and when I travel to somewhere cold I am not used to it. I have to do yoga to warm myself up from the inside. Have you learned how to do yoga breathing?

I use the heating pad a lot. Another thing I noticed is that my tolerance for cold water in the ocean and pool has really changed. I cannot handle it as well and usually feel miserable. Then I tighten up which makes everything worse. Also if I am too hot I get dizzy and nauseous easily.

Hope you get some relief!
