My husband has a degenerative Autonomic Neuropathy and one of his worse problems is feeling "cold". We are in florida and he constantly wants the heat on which is really starting to have effects on me. I know he does feel very cold but don't really believe the temperature has a lot to do with that as we keep it on 79 now. Has anyone found a solution to help keep the person warm while keeping things at a livable temperature? Blankets, etc do not seem to help him

When I spend the day alone, as is most often, I get under and OVER my blankies and watch TV or read. My hub has found an appliance that helps me with my chills: a mattress pad that works like a heating blanket? Yes. Heat rises, so I am more warm, and the thing has two sides just like an electric blanket, so my hub does not "toast." Contols on each side keep me warm and him comfy. After all that, I cannot think of any med that makes anyone think he or she is more war,m.
