Like Mac, I hate the cold too! I'm a c6/7 complete quad. I wear base layer bottoms, wool trousers, merino wool turtleneck, heavy merino over sweater, a fleece vest and keep my home at 70-72 degrees during the winter, and I'm still uncomfortable. All of the joints I can feel ache and throb and neurological pain is exacerbated. On the flip side, I also hate the heat, add humidity and I'm a goner. An hour exposure to 85 degrees and I start suffering from hyperthermia, raised body temperature that can lead to heat stroke.
