Question:
Anyone know what to do about being hot & cold-I need help!!

I am three weeks post-op and can't sleep or even be comfortable because as soon as I get warm-I'm hot-take off covers and within a few minutes become cold-I have missed about 3 nights of sleep because of it and need some help-I don't have a temp at all and told the dr.-he said nothing! Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!    — Tris H. (posted on February 3, 2002)

Here's what I do. I have a fan I keep on medium all night. I get under the sheet and comforter, but put one leg outside the blanket. When I get cold, I put the leg back in, if I get hot, it goes back out. That seems to keep my temperature regulated. It becomes so second habit, you won't lose any sleep doing it.
