yes,cold weather kills,but the airconditioner/central air for me is a killer. i pretty much wear winter clothes all year long,including spandex under regular clothes.doctors offices,hospitals always have the air cranked up,cannot handle it, it makes the burning a lot worse.

I totally know what you are talking about. Jeans are pretty much my every day clothes even if it's 100 degrees outside. The boyfriend has had to deal with higher temps in the house. I bought a microwavable heating pad that I can wrap about my ankle and wear. This helps off set the temp in whatever room I am in. Where is your RSD? Maybe something like this would help you (if the weight wasn't too much for you to handle...sometimes I am forced to choose between the lesser of 2 evils).

Just read another of your posts where you say you have RSD in your whole body. That's terrible and I am so sorry. I guess I can't really know EXACTLY what you are going through and I hope against all hope that I never do. I am VERY sorry for your suffering. But I do hate that every time I go to the doctor I feel like I have to mentally prepare myself for increased pain due to the temps in the office/hospital.

I just made a post about a battery operated heating brace that I wear for the RSD in my shoulder. The company also makes heated clothing of all sorts. The name is Venture Heat. The items are not cheap but I have used the same brace for four years and bought extra batteries so I have plenty on hand when I leave the house. The best heating pad I found is made by Sunbeam and is the "Shaped Flexible" design. It has velco straps and a timer control. I have literally wore out six of them in the last ten years but they are worth it. Here's to a "mild" winter.
