I hate the colder half of the year.
When I feel cold for a few minutes, if I don't get a heat source fast, I start getting fever and bad symptoms, making me feel even worse.
I get an uncomfortable sensation from electric heating pads too. Battery operated seems ok so far. I hope so, because the other types don't last long enough for me.
Also that is interesting about pain definitions. I am lousy at reporting pain and other symptoms because of having them so long and they are all different.
I keep reading it's healthier to breathe cooler air at night (and perhaps other times). I can't tolerate it.

I used to use an electric heating pad, but this now triggers neuropathic pain (heat, mostly, but it can be uncomfortable and even prickly, especially when brought on by the heating pad, and I was once told: "If you don't like it and want it to stop, that's pain." --when I was conflicted about reporting stuff as "pain" at physical therapy, because it was uncomfortable but didn't fit my definition of pain)

I keep the air warm as breathing cold air isn't good I don't think.
