By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or

Also make sure she is not dehydrated with all the sweating. I love cuddle duds for warmth. They are very light weight and I stay very comfortable when I wear those under my clothes when I am in a cold environment. Sometimes you can find them at Costco or Sams this time of the year. The puff jackets and vests are very light weight but will help keep her toasty. I like MidKids idea of wicking underwear for the moisture. Down comforters are good at night. And you are so right about moving keeping her blood flowing. Also relaxing is helpful. When my aunts thyroid is off she will turn off the AC in extreme heat because she is so cold.
Good luck!
Cotton is the best temperature regulating fabric there is. Try getting her cotton clothes and don't cave in when you know that she is plenty warm and adding heat will make her sweaty, she needs someone else to make her decisions now, she obviously doesn't have the ability to know how she really feels. Proven by the excessive sweating when you cave. No judgment, just saying her brain is broken.
It keeps you warm but does also allow the fabric to breathe.
Also a hat. Much heat is lost through the top of your head so if you can get her to wear a cap that might also help.
Bamboo is another awesome fabric for wicking away moisture. I have just finished chemo and one of the hundreds of s/e is nigth sweats. I was changing my pjs 3-5 times per night. My daughter bought me a pair of bamboo pjs and it was amazing! I was still 'sweaty' but not soaked through. They are not cheap, but I am treating myself to another pair ASAP. (Can I mention a brand? Softies are the ones I have and they are quite expensive, but I was sick of sleeping on 2-3 towels and sweating through everything.
And if she won't get up and move, she'd going to just stay cold, damp and miserable.
AND check her thyroid.
