It is snowing here as well. I cannot turn the heat up because I have to conserve fuel. Still, I will break out in a sweat and feel super warm and then will be cold again. I have been through hot flashes and this is not quite the same.

If you do not have someone to make a shawl for you and cannot sew for yourself, you can find some ready made. I get all kinds of mail order magazines - Harriet Carter, Miles Kimball, Walter Drake, Carol Wright, Dr. Leonard's. I have seen shawls in all or some of those. Some even had pockets to keep your hands warm. I imagine that they also have internet sales. Try going online - you may find something suitable.

I found that when I am really achey a warm sheet from the dryer makes a nice cozey body wrap.

Do any of you men have trouble with sweating or chills?
