So many people with thyroid conditions feel the cold more than others. With cold hands and feet, and extra susceptibility to the winter chill, thyroid patients need a little extra tender loving warmth! Here are some things to help keep you toasty this winter!

1) Flannel Sheets

Every winter, I break out my flannel sheets, and wouldn't sleep on anything else as temperatures dip. There is nothing better than the feeling of soft and warm flannel -- rather than cold icy cotton -- on a cold winter's night. It's a surefire cold-buster.
