Drugs and lots of them. Citalopram (an SSRI) dramatically increases my body temperature; enough that I can shovel snow without wearing a hat and I can leave my jacket unzipped. B vitamins increase my body temperature too. Ephedrine increases body temperature too.

Having a bunch of electric heaters helps too. I put a radiant heater on me when I play games. My bedroom has a thermostat controlled heater.

She probably has "dirty" gums, like Gingivitis developing. Seriously. Get her to take better care of her teeth. Floss & brush after every meal. And a cleaning twice a year is important.

friend of ours in new york started saving the hair she brushed out of her three dogs and spun it into socks for her.


She says they are very warm.

LOL, when I was growing up, we had a number of Elkhounds, and one of our neighbors would collect the hair and make yarn out of it. I think I might still have an Elkhound hair blanket somewhere in my garage :biggrin:

If the problem seems to be around the apartment the choices are to insulate around her or crank up the heat.

A space heater will work for one room but not handle anywhere else. she moves around, the other rooms will be cool. Especially if the thermostat is in the room where the heater is.
Heavy drapes on the windows will help retain heat.
I would expect that you already have plastic on the windows to create an air pocket.

Consider having her wear heavier clothing around the apt; heavy socks w/ slippers to keep the chillness of the floor away.
Thick rugs
Leggings and/or thermals
A thick robe with pockets.
Wear a woolen shirt when a robe is not desired.
Flannel pajamas.

All the above will assist in different degrees and costs.
Some may not be socially acceptable when she has company over. Her decision.

Glenlivet 15 French Oak Reserve. A glass of that after hanging up lights warmed me right up.

Nothing wrong with leggings...I think they look good on girl. But most clothes look better balled up in the corner of her room while I am railing her.

that was a good halloween. ;) The problem is two fold. She gets cold super fast and 70 is really cold for her. Her place gets only a little sunlight. So I'd like to warm up the place with a safe space heater. I'm thinking this

but it's freaking huge and I'm thinking it'll trip the breakers but I don't have a lot of experience with electric space heaters.
