How Do You Cope With Seasonal Changes And Lymphoma?
My lymphoma is in remission for now. But I have seasonal affective disorder,SAD, so need to use a “light box” every day for 20 minutes . If helps to keep my mood up and I then feel like doing activities. ( light box puts out 10,000 LUX)
I live in NY and I used to hate the change of seasons, especially winter because I had to stay in, now I’m on acalabrutinib and no more night sweatss. Weather now doesn’t bother me, I’m just happy to wake up every morning. Stay positive and when you have a down day, do something.
Hi! I live in Minnesota where we have 4 seasons and our winters can get quite fridged! I try to stay inside as much as possible during the coldest months. I wear flannel pajamas at nightlight both socks and slippers on along with a warm robe to top it off. I drink hot cocoa, tea and I let myself drink one cup of morning coffee. If I have to go out, I will wear long underwear under my clothing. I only wear sweaters and hoodies as I have fibromyalga, RA, and osteo arthritus as well, therefore, I can't button clothing at all. My husband also buys me heated hand and foot warmers that I put on my mittens and boots. Wearing a warm hat. Ear muffs and a nice, large scarf helps keep the cold out. I even have a winter coat that ties at the bottom so cold air can't travel up my jacket. A nice warm bath with scented Epsom salts is quite nice too...I hope some of this helps you. We have to tick together ❤️ to try and help one another. Warm wishes to you....

I have the same problem but mostly my feet. I heave socks but they are still cold. And my nose for some reason. I need a nose mitt. 😅
I’m the same way. Even before cancer. My sister is the same way too. I live in sweats all year around. It’s terrible because I have night sweats and wake up soaking wet and COLD. I hate the thoughts of winter coming.
