Use a heating blanket set on LOW for SHORT periods of time. Works wonders for me...

We keep the thermostat set at 68 degrees so I don't get too warm, tired and weak.

Take care.

I went to Dollar Tree and bought some gloves (not the knit kind, they unravel) and cut the fingers off about halfway. I wear them inside when I can't seem to get my hands warm.

I can do almost anything wearing them, including use the computer and play the piano (badly, but such is the case without gloves). For a buck a pair, it's an easy fix.

I do so hate the cold!

I'm the reverse to most people in that I have most of my relapses in colder weather, where as others find the heat is their worst enemy.

I need to keep warm to prevent relapses, so I'll try anything to heat up.

I'm a firm believer in the electric blaket, and I wear bed socks at night! :D
I have gloves for the day time, and warm coats...lots of warm coats!

Others have already commented on Ugg boots, but I love mine! :heartthrob: Even my house "slippers" are short sheep skin uggies.... and they're very comfy, and ever so warm!

I also have an old fashioned hot water bottle which I use to keep my feet warm because when they're warm, the rest of me seems to follow along quickly. :)

I too am luckily enough to be the proud owner of a special "Vonn made" warm snuggly quilt! I wrap it around my legs and I'm as snug as a bug in a rug! Thank you so very much Vonn! :hug:

We have a heater in our hallway which is set to come on in the middle of the night, so when we get up in the morning, the house is already warm.

All of the above seem to work for me as this year I hardly felt the cold at all, and it was the coldest winter we'd been through in over 15 years!
