If you live in Indiana or surrounding areas, you don’t need me to tell you how dreadful the weather is! Brr! Long ago are the days I couldn’t get enough snow; now, I cannot seem to get enough warmth!
I am currently cuddling with a soft blanket and heating pad trying to get warm. I know many people with neuromuscular diseases, spinal cord injuries, and more all struggle getting warm, so I thought I’d cover a handful of products to (hopefully!) warm you up this winter.
