Heated Overblanket

[slomotion]

Hello everyone. I have just bought the above. Had enough of waking in pain and being cold. I suspect the two are connected. It is a bind having to get up to refill my hot water bottle. Going downstairs in the early hours when stiff, tired and painful is difficult and I dont want a fall. Along with the blanket, I have bought a little travel kettle, and have set-up a space for a brew in my bedroom. Biscuits and meds as well. The bathroom is a few steps away so now I am all set for a warm and safer winter.

Have no experience of electric overblankets and I will be trying it out tonight. So if you dont hear from me again - I have fried myself!!!

Hope you are all having the best day possible. Helen XX

Hi Helen

Sorry that last sentence really made me laugh 😂

Please don't fry yourself.

I use an electric underblanket, but I like the sound of your heated overblanket.

Let us know how you get on with it.

Wishing you less pain and more peace

Lu xx

Hi Lu, glad I made you laugh. Have survived. It was lovely, luxurious and would recommend it to anyone. Have a pain free week. Helen X

Sounds like a good plan to me!!! Not getting fried I mean getting all snuggly and warm for the winter...I am seriously considering hibernation very soon, but today the sun is shining so I shall await the winter proper!! xx

Hi Trikki - as you see I didnt fry! In fact, it was fabulous. It has been a lovely day and I have been out with my camera. Probably wont be walking too well tomorrow but dont care - I will have sunny photos to edit. Helen X

I have a electric under blanket and wouldn't be without it, be interesting to see how you get on with an over blanket so please keep us informed, definitely helps with stiffness and muscle spasms, take care xx

[slomotion in reply to Dionne0208]

Hi Dionne, I love it - was so cosy. It has a range of settings and I am looking forward to a sub-zero night just to try out the hottest one. I wish I had bought one ages ago. Have a pain free week. Helen X

Now you will have to post first thing tomorrow to reassure us you haven't overcooked, I too have all the things you describe to brew tea/coffee at hand, was thinking of a mini fridge but is that a step too far? xx

[Christy_R in reply to Lou1062]

No I have a fridge in my room because I get so bad I can barely walk...it is a wonderful help when you bed it!

[slomotion in reply to Lou1062]

Lou - I survived! In fact, it was lovely - only needed it on the lowest setting. When it gets really cold I should be nice and toasty. A mini fridge - ooooh - thats a good idea. I have room for one. Treat yourself if you need it, why not? Helen X

Hi Lou1062 - I suppose it depends on how cold you like your midnight beer xx

[Hidden]

Sounds like a good idea Helen I dident know your could buy them to go over the top Let's us know how you get on them x

[slomotion in reply to Hidden]

Hi Erny, It was great. Very cosy and has loads of settings. Wish I had bought one ages ago. Helen X

[shazzy1971]

hi slomotion , I bought a heated overpayment couple of weeks ago and think it's a great idea. Very snuggly and warm, helps to relieve the aches and pains a little. Good luck with yours!!😊😴

WOW! That all sounds great my friend! I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck with this and if you ever want to hibernate then you are set for the winter? Please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Love your sense of humor my little room is set up like this too. It's been a wonderful help on the bad flare days! Thinking of you!

[slomotion]

Yes, bring it on. It is really cosy. Helen X

Strange how people with the F-word are different but the same. I wouldn't have anything heated near me. It sets my skin on fire. I get by with a couple of layers with the aim of not setting off the sweat monster because if I fall asleep like that I wake up freezing as all the heat has been sucked out of me, time for a hot drink.
