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.
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.
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.
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.
