@Dazzlespaz1993 Well OK then.

I'm another one who is easily chilled. I used to walk around the house barefoot all year but nowadays, with peripheral neuropathy, I'm always in lined slippers. DH likes a cool bedroom. You'd laugh if you saw how I bundle up at night and pile extra throws on my side of the bed. If I absolutely cannot get to sleep, I leave and move to the

family room and start a fire. I'm so grateful for our gas insert and remote starter.

Contrast all that to when DH and I take our daily walks in the cold. I'm wearing sweatpants, a hooded sweatshirt with the hood up, a warm parka, barefoot dreams beanie over my hood. The parka gets zipped up all the way. Oh, and gloves, of course. By the time we're getting back home, at the driveway I'm peeling off the hat and hood, and unzipping my coat.

As I age and after a thyroidectomy, I feel the cold more.

Did you have the neuropathy before keto, @JeanLouiseFinch?

Did you have the neuropathy before keto, @JeanLouiseFinch?

Yes, @tansy, it began several years prior. I was pre-diabetic and the neuropathy is common side effect. Keto reversed my prediabetes but the nerves in my feet were too far gone to recover. I take some supplements to help but I'll never get rid of it.

@JeanLouiseFinch I found that sleeping in socks makes a world of difference!

I even bought a pair Casmere socks to sleep in! Totally worth it to me! No cold feet!

I wear fuzzy socks myself, @Zhills, but I use the kind with grippers. Cashmere sounds luxurious.

I now live in the Hudson Valley area in NY. About an hour north of NYC. I was here last winter and remember sitting by our lake on sunny afternoons up to a week before Christmas. It was lovely. Then it wasn't.

This year - forget it. I really, really dislike the cold. Anything below 50 degrees, I'm unhappy. Ugh. To me, spring should begin January 2. You had your white Christmas, let's move on.

The highest my heat temp is 69 degrees. And I turn it off when I'm out. I also have a heated mattress pad for my bed. It's my savior. I put it on high about an hour before I get into bed and it's heaven. Then I lower it while I'm sleeping. Love it. I used to have a heated blanket on my bed, but I didn't like it. The mattress pad warms me from the bottom, up. I highly recommend them.

The beginning of December, during a few really cold nights, my heat would not come on. It worked during the day, but when I went to put it on in the evening, nothing. The next day I called our management company, hoping I was not the only one. No luck, it was my apartment. My neighbor called his guy, who came over, and it was my fan. The system is old and I knew when I purchased this place I would have to put in a new system. Was hoping to get a year out of it. I got 3 months.

How many more days till spring??
