Furnace Is On For The First Time This Season

I have Raynaud's also, but not as bad as you. My feet are cold all the time, I sleep in sox even in the summer.

ours all ready been on and off.Today this morning it was in the low forties.We need the heat.LOL

I just turn my oven on once in a while. I don't want to start my heaters yet

I guess that means it's time to get out the fuzzy socks, and add blankets around the house and start adding layers in some of the windows and near the bottom of the doors to block gaps.

Ah poor you- my daughter has that syndrome and really can't be out in the cold too long either! It's getting chilly at night and I could break down too and put the heat on but am holding out. It may be a little warmer where I am in Canada!

Meanwhile, I still have my window cooler on. Haha. I am sorry you are going through this though, I hope you will get to stay nice and toasty!

We're still in the 70's here but it's coming. Stay warm!

It won't be too much longer for us either!! When my hands start to get cold IN THE HOUSE... you know!

Still haven't used heat here.......maybe soon.

It's getting chillier here as well, but I'm hoping to wait until the end of October before turning on our heat. It may get to seventy yet today and a few days coming up. My husband still has the fan in his room going when he's home, so for us it wouldn't be a good thing to turn it on. I know that many older people already have theirs on, though, and that's to be expected. As we get older, most of us are colder than we were when younger. For me, I'm always cold if it's below eighty degrees. Certainly, if you have an illness or syndrome that makes you colder yet, it's probably better to get it going before everyone else. I've met folks that have the heat running even when it's much warmer than it's been in the past few weeks.

We left two windows open in our bedroom last night. It was cold, but not cold enough to turn the heat on. We like a cold room for sleeping. Actually, we just turned the air conditioner off after running it almost all summer. I'm sure the heat is helping your hands. Feel better.

We have not had cool enough weather here yet to turn our on. ( But I do not have Raynaud's.) Stay warm.

@marlina I have a friend with that, when her hands get cold which is very often they hurt. I am sorry to hear you have it. I wish it was cooler here. You walk out the door and beads of sweat instantly appear on your forehead.

The changing of the season takes its toll on you. Keep warm!

Well you have to do, what you have to do. I don't usually put my furnace on until much later in the year, but I do have some heaters I use if it is chilly. It hasn't been chilly here, just a couple of coolish mornings.

And so the heating bills start...we are far far from putting the heat on thank God.

I use space heaters exclusively and block off portions of my trailer so I'm heating only the rooms where I'm spending my time. It's my feet that get cold, and it happens the minute the high temps outside fall below 70°F. Lately I've been running the space heater for a little while at night, and in the bathroom when I shower. I don't have the rooms blocked off yet, but yesterday I put the mattress warmer on the bed, getting ready for inevitable winter. I'm kinda looking forward to scrunching up under the warm covers.

I am sorry about your hands. Is there any oil you could massage to make them not so cold.?

Oh no rainy and cold at the same that is even worse.

Marlina I almost turned on the heat last night!! It was cold instead I opted for another blanket.....Lol
