She refuses to put it on even at a higher temperature. The other day, it was in the 80's, she complained of being light headed, the runs & vomiting.
I don't know how to make it clear she's hurting herself. She'll put on a fan and think it's working. My husband gives up.
Dress & undress in a warmer room. Then keep Mother warm with warm footwear, wooly hat & cardigan. Maybe she could do some gentle seated exercises if she cools down eg wrist flex, arm bends, calf raise & foot flexes to move her blood around for extra circulation. Or if less able, add a cosy knee rug.
I gave him sweaters, warm blankets, warm socks, etc. for birthdays and Christmas.
My mom was always burning up. Daddy couldn’t seem to ever warm up.
I don’t know what the answer is except to stop her from being able to set the temperature.
Other than taking away her ability to regulate her own environment and encouraging her to wear long underwear and a knit cap, I don't think there is a good solution.
My mom was much better (post stroke) in a NH where the temperature was centrally controlled. She wore warmer clothes.
