If you have an house like mine the draft of the wind comes in and even makes being inside cold. There are a few ways that I try to stay warm and keep my muscles moving and warm to avoid even more stiffness than what happens.

I keep a heating pad near me to put on under the blanket when I am watching TV at night. I like to have that extra warmth and I move the heating pad to different areas to let the heat soak into my body. I also invested some massage oil and rub that into my hands, arms, neck, and legs sometimes to help keep the muscles loose. I also make sure I wear warm clothing when I go outside. I always, any time of year, start my morning with a hot shower.

So don’t let the change in weather get you down, go out and enjoy it to the fullest. Just make sure to warm those bones and muscles. Keep dressed warmly and curl up with a warm blanket. Always remember to take time out of life to do something special for yourself. You deserve it!

I know fatigue that is hard to beat- but not this.
Different animal. I hear this is more of a problem, these days. Good thing to learn about and props to 'survivor" for surviving. Strong person.

I hear that... my husband and I live in a basement appartment in my in-laws house and one of our windows is covered in cardboard rather than glass... it can be so terrible in the cold, I want so badly to move to a warmer climate but I know most places with a better climate have a worse economy! Best wishes to you in dealing with this terrible disease.
