Excellent work on bringing down your platelet count!

A lot of us with ET feel greater sensitivity to cold. My guess is that it's our impeded blood circulation.

I looked online for a garment my grandmother would have called a "chest protector." Didn't see anything, so I sewed a doubled layer of plush fabric onto the front of a camisole.

Works like a charm. Perfect for morning dog walks.

@janemc Chest protector, great idea! Somebody in my knitting group has patterns from the 1940s and knitted one. It's like a long dickey, if anyone remembers those. I knit fingerless mitts and cowls to go with my flannel shirts and nighties. Silk long johns are also a must in winter. Can you tell I live in Michigan? 🙂
