When it’s cold?
I try my hardest to keep warm.
I have good days and bad days.
Sometimes I don’t know what to do to keep warm.
I hate to disturb my partner from sleeping. I hate myself for tossing and turning in bed at night trying to get comfortable.
Does anyone else get all the itchy things?
I’ve lost my hearing in my left ear and it’s awful.
I live in the U.K. does anybody have any proposals as to help ?
I’ve tried CBD and im not on Biotin just simply quite a lot of Ibuprofen and I prefer not to take that
This is what I've been doing lately. I have a heating pad that turns off by itself after 2 hours. If I'm having one of those nights, I put it where my hips are and turn it on warm or low (never medium or high) I've been having more pain in my hips lately. But if I wake up in the middle of the night and I'm achy, I just turn it back on and it eases me back to sleep.
I do notice that when I'm more sedentary I have more issues. So funny how that works. I would love to try CBD, but I was thinking that might be expensive. What do you buy, gummies? Thanks for your question. Here is an article giving an overview of medical marijuana, what questions to ask your doctor, and the types of medical marijuana available. Hope this helps.

I do the same. Even my dog leaves the bed after a while. I stay cold. This all started 5 years ago after being a hot natured person all my life. The pain at night is do much worse. I have considered sleeping in my recliner. But, I awake stiff and sore.
I had the same problem tossing turning kicking so slept in my recliner but made me sore.i opted for a Zecliner that’s all power has heat and massage and I can sleep in comfort for a few hours,maybe 3. Here’s a link if you want to check it out- https://zecliner.com/

Hello,
How are doing these days? How did your appointment with the rheumatologist go?
I had mine the other day and it went fine, AxSpa is under control thankfully 😀
How are you feeling regarding the cold season now?
I am also in the UK, in beautiful Scotland where it can get pretty cold. I think last Autumn was actually brutal compared to this Winter. We had some mild days beginning of this year. And now hopefully we are heading towards better temperatures and more sunlight!!
Take care and keep us posted.

Aww thanks for asking❤️
Well after a period of incredibly mild weather, we’re now heading into the colder season.
I’ve moved house and have a log fire so the place keeps nice and warm, which definitely helps.
I find I don’t move so much in winter but I make sure to take a walk every day. I also bought an electric vibration board. I find they are really excellent for easing the stiffness you get from arthritis pain.
If my back is particularly painful ( I sometimes get sciatica) I don’t use it but generally I find it brilliant for moving the joints and loosening things up. I’d really recommend people getting one if the suffer with stiffness and it makes me feel at least I’m doing some sort of exercise, when most activities are now out of my reach.
Wishing everyone a peaceful winter season 🩷
Because I live in a cold state, Wyoming, I realize I may not anticipate how weather is going to effect me, even if I look at my weather app. So, once October comes around I need to start to prepare. I have decided to buy more clothes so I can layer up. My secret weapon is long underwear! Cotton and wool are important for my battle with cold. As are heavier shirts and pants and warm socks. Sweeping, vacuuming and walking are also important to keep the blood flowing. Heating pads can help some, too. Lisa
