Hello Ada and Lori Lee,
I want to thank you both for your opinions. Lori Lee I have never heard of a bed warmer like that before. I really appreciate the suggestion I am going to check that out and see what i can do. I just wanted to drop a line to let you both know I appreciate the opinions. You take care and hope to talk to you soon.

Sincerely,

Hi Debby!

Yes it is absolutely gorgeous over there. I have lots of family living around there, and went over to see some of them. When we got to talking we realized that some of us hadnt seen each other since 1968! Gonna change that LOL.

I seriously want to move there because of their great weather, but wife says to far from her 6 kids, and 9 grandkids. I say they will follow us LOL.

i'm like a weatherman, i know when a storm is coming or if its gonna be colder... the pain gets so much more intense in the bones and my muscles start cramping up.... hate winter boooooooooo hahah

WOW it was SO nice to read that other people are going through the same things that I have been going through for over 2 yrs now. The pain and the bone chilling cold when winter comes (HATE WINTER) the breezes that hurt even if in the spring or fall - and the having to bundle up just to kept your RSD leg warm. Thank you everyone for your posts - I don't feel as alone!
Just today I got my first of 3 Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks. My husband and I were looking forward to starting a family but now all of that is on hold while I try to get my RSD pain under control. I live in MN and the weather is brutal up here in the winter. PAINFUL to the extreme. Being that I am 34 I don't want to wait much longer to start a family but I am tired of not sleeping all winter long because of the pain - so tired of it all. Hope that the injections help but am getting a bit bummed - I got my injections at 11 a.m. this morning and my leg heated up and the purple color went away so I was excited. Now at only 8 p.m. my RSD leg is colder to the touch than my 'normal' leg already. I had high hopes but now am not so sure.
Again - I enjoyed reading everyones posts - just to know that I am not the only one out there helps!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ali!

I live in Maryland, and we have had more snow last December than in 10 years combined! (it wasn't even calendar Winter yet). I Spent $90.00 on a very soft heating blanket and many hundreds of dollars for heating pads in the past year. I must say that it is the VERY best investment I have ever made! My Husband calls it my "toaster oven". I set both on High and hide inside of them. Then I get all sweaty and need to go outside to cool off. Your idea is magnificent! I wish I could find one that plugs into the lighter thingy in my car, so I can take them to my Doctor's appointments! Husband can't even see me in the morning when he checks on me (can't sleep together) because I am buried over my head in the blankies. I miss them when I am not home...

Tracy, and everyone...

Massagewarehouse.com has all good stuff...check it out! great prices too!

Yes, the cold is absolutely horrible, as well as 115 degree heat. I live in southern california and we have wonderful weather here, i had a series of ketamine infusions and was doing great and i went to oregon where it was 30 degrees and it flared all back up and i ended up having to go through more infusions as soon as i got home because of the cold weather. you arent alone:) the cold weather is horrrrible!!! :) all the reason to come to LA! (i live in la, and the weather is for the most part really nice) :) But the rain... oi... :( thats when the pain kicks in. My doctor alters our medications seasonally- ie winter more meds summer less... kind of nice because my body hasnt gotten adjusted to medications so we havent had to up them because I was used to them.

Hi Ada.

I live in Maryland and we've already had more snow than we've had in the last ten years combined. We just dug ourselves from two feet! The weather bothers me so bad that I went out and spent almost $100. on a heating blanket. I sit on my heating pad with my blanket cranked up to high ALL DAY! It's been a miracle for me. My blankie is a very soft microfleece. Sunbeam makes them and its very soft, not scratchy like the older ones. Good luck!
