If you are 65 or over, it is important to spend most of your time in a warm environment during the winter months. There are a number of things you can do to cope in cold weather.
Keep your main living room at around 18-21°C (65-70°F) and the rest of the house at least 16°C (61°F). If you can't heat all the rooms you use, heat the living room during the day and the bedroom just before you go to sleep.
Make sure you are receiving any benefits you are entitled to, such as the Winter Fuel Payment and Cold Weather Payment.
Regular hot drinks and eating at least one hot meal a day will help keep energy levels up during winter and keep your body warm.
Finally, make sure you get the seasonal flu jab. While not 100% guaranteed, it should reduce your vulnerability to infection...<div id="medworm"><p><b><i>MedWorm Message:</i></b> Get the very latest Swine Flu news via the MedWorm <b><a href="http://www.medworm.com/rss/search.php?qu=%2Bswine+%2B%28influenza+flu%29&t=Swine+Flu&f=infectiousdiseases&r=Any&o=d" target ="_self">Swine Flu RSS news feed</a></b> - updated hourly from thousands of authoritative health and news sources.</p></div>

Medical and surgical management of chronic pelvic pain :: Abstract: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) affects over 1 million women in the UK, with subsequent impact on ability to work and the economy. It is often debilitating and can be difficult to treat. Gynaecologists have traditionally focussed on the organ-specific approach to the diagnosis of pain. Endometriosis is common as is chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and adenomyosis. Some causes are non-gynaecological such as irritable bowel syndrome and interstitial cystitis. However, as many as 55% of women presenting with CPP will have no obvious underlying pathology following completion of all investigations.This review focuses on the appropriate investigations, diagnosis and management of women with identified pathological causes of pelvic pain. It also considers the holistic approach to the manag...

VIDEO Arsenal 2-2 Southampton: Highlights; Gunners Drop Vital Points As Flamini Sees Red :: <div class="field field-name-field-images field-type-entityreference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Arsenal were left to settle for just a point in a 2-2 draw with Southampton after an action-packed second half at St Mary's Stadium. A poor opening half from the visitors saw them go into the interval a goal down courtesy of a header from Jose Fonte. Arsene Wenger's side produced a much better start to the second period and turned the game on its head in the space of seven minutes with goals from Olivier Giroud and Santi Cazorla. To their credit, Southampton were not deflated at suddenly having their advantage taken away and responded instantly through Adam Lallana.</p></div></div></div>
