Feeling the Cold

Oh yes it is a combination, of cancer, treatments, and also if on blood thinners, welcome to the ice age

Well at least  you have some one to make the tea, i make up a flask  its saves me getting up,

Yes I often feel the cold. The last 2 mornings especially. I've put the quilt and winter throw on the bed as Ellie said it's a combination  of our illness and treatment xx

Yes, I really feel the cold. I've been wearing socks to bed as my feet are always freezing!

Good idea Ellie, it will save on your electric bill too. 

Hiya Mmum

its not just you feeling the cold, I am as well, like you I’ve hunted out my warm hats. I lost all my hair earlier this year due to chemotherapy and it’s just beginning to grow back now, I was wondering if that was my problem. As well as hat’s I’m wearing my snuggle hoodie you can get 2 of me in it but I don’t care I’m nice and warm and that’s the main thing. 

have a great day

Here's a tip from my friend - heated socks!  They have wires fuelled by a little battery.  Only problem is you need Big Shoes to accommodate them and a Big Disposable income to accommodate £150 outlay.   I don't think that's required for me yet.  I have waterproof socks and overshoes and I'll try these next (specifically for the pedal bike).  

I found last winter when I was having chemo I felt cold much of the time. Having read about so many people putting fluffy dressing gowns and PJ's on in the early evening I tried it last night and felt toastie warm! Looked like a yeti when I got up but who cares! This's something I'd never have dreamed of doing, never mind putting a fluffy rug over my knees!

Have always felt the cold, but nowadays I'm extra cold. Three layers on today and barely comfortable. Husband used to call me 'nesh', but now that he's old as well, he's now feeling the cold when he never used to.  Also, less active after everything that's been done to the old bod, so that makes it worse I think. Hot mugs of tea and fleeces beckon. I paint wearing mittens but hands still go blue. As ellie said, 'the ice-age'. Rainie x
