Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Move over and make room on that rock for me.? I'm always cold too and my body temp is also below normal.? Here it is mid?April and I have on a turtleneck, fleece shirt, the heat is on?and I'm comfortable.? My comfort zone is around 80.? Anything much below that and I'm cold.? I suffer in the winter but summer is great...everyone is dying and I'm comfortable.? I can't stand AC and it has to be over 90 before I even think about turning it on.? Drives me nuts here at work when the outside temp goes up to 55 and the AC goes on.? I may not be normal, but this isn't normal either.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 And it's always women who are cold like that, never met a man who had that problem! About 70 is good for me, I like 75 in the winter when I've been freezing cold all day at work (where I can't even have a space heater any more, grrr...!) Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 When my FIL got into his 70's, he used to keep the thermostat set at 85 degrees year around. We had to take t-shirts and shorts to survived in there. It was like a furnace was set wide open and we about passed out. He was anemic. Judy - Maureen Monday, April 13, 2009 3:06 PM Re: Mo - cold people! You know, now that you mention it, I've never known a man who was always cold either. I remember complaining to the superintendent/building owner about the lack of heat years ago. I was all bundled up and ready for a fight until he answered the door in a T-shirt and his guests, also in summery clothes, waved at me, as I shivered under my multiple layers. I didn't really know what to say, lol Audrey Snyder wrote: > And it's always women who are cold like that, never met a man who had that > problem!

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Older people's thin skin makes them cold -- yeah, anemia will do it, too! I used to visit elderly people's homes to cook and clean for them, and I would about pass out from the heat while working hard cleaning or having the stove or oven on! I wore lots of skirts and sleeveless shirts in the summer when I worked, as that kept me cooler. Both of my grandmothers do the same thing -- it has to be at least 80 degrees in their homes. I didn't sleep at all last time I spent the night with one grandma, too hot! Audrey S.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I saw this conversation start on the smoothie thread, so I thought I would repost my comment here... My body temp used to run about a degree low too, and one doctor attributed it to hypothyroidism (which I have). If you've never had your thyroid level checked, it's worth doing. It's a simple blood test. About men not getting cold? The exception to the rule is my husband, always cold. I think he has always been a touch anemic though. And he hasn't complained as much about it since we started eating more spinach regularly, hmm.... Taryn , Maureen <ailanthus wrote: > > Lol, you sound like me!

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 That is interesting that your husband doesn't seem as cold since you started eating more spinach.... Iron! I do have my thyroid checked frequently, as I have had a couple of tests come back showing that I produce thyroid antibodies (but not enough to cause any problems yet -- I may eventually develop hypothyroidism because of it), but the last test came back fine. A good thing to check, though, and I'll keep having my doctor do it. Audrey S.
