Anyone COLD after their SCT?
Hey all. Since my SCT I have been so cold. Has anyone else had this problem? I used to keep my home at 68 degrees and now keep it at 76 degrees and I wear turtle necks, flannel shirts and heavy sweatshirts AND sit with a blanket on when resting! One of my clinic nurses says SCT patients are usually cold for some reason after the transplant. I thought I'd ask the experts here about it.
Also, how covered up to we have to be in the sun? We have a speed boat that we take on the lake 3-4 times per summer and I ride with my husband on a motorcycle a lot - ride west on vacations on it, etc. I purchased a straw hat and a cap with a large bill to keep sun off of my face. Will wearing a high spf work on the boat or will I have to wear long sleeve shirts and pants on the boat this summer?? Thanks for your input!
