Hello All,

Reading this forum for a few months has taught me that everyone is a little different. But today, I am looking for some 'misery loves company' friends. If you are able, riddle me this.

Why are there times you get so cold? I do not understand.

As for context, I am a few weeks post surgery. Things are going well...just wondering who gave me a membership into this Polar Bear Club. I wasn't looking to join a club where members are forced to freeze nearly to death.

Through my years, I have always been a warm person...temperature wise that is. To say it another way, I have always been a "scrub a little too hard and I can sweat in the shower" kind of person. But, as Bob Dylan once said, "The times, they are a changin." Let me explain.

There are times when I am on the couch. I am dressed in warm clothes and thick, comfy socks. I am under at least two or three hefty blankets. There is a fire in the fireplace. A large labrador retriever that goes by the name of Bella is curled up beside me sharing her warmth. Yet, I still shiver to my bones. What the hell is going on here?

As odd as this may sound, I have actually worn a winter hat inside of my own house because I cannot get warm. But a few hours will pass and, suddenly, I feel like I am back to normal.

During these 'winter wonderlands,' my beautiful wife is wearing shorts, no socks and a flimsy t-shirt. As she lifts her hair in an attempt to cool herself, she proclaims the problem is with me. So I have a few questions for you. Perhaps you can help me.

1) Have you experienced this same issue?

2) Does it go away? If so, when?

3) Does anyone really know what causes it?

4) Why am I not cold all the time?

Thanks for all of your sharing. Hopefully your wisdom will provide me with some new knowledge.

I wish each of you the most wonderful, healthy and fulfilling days ahead.

Best,

AnotherGuy

I am not willing to share what the current temperature setting is within my house. I am embarrassed to say it is higher than 68F. ?

Trust me I would have it higher if it wasn’t for my partner putting a ban on it being any higher due to the crazy energy prices. ??

I'm constantly chilled, even in Houston. I sleep with a head cap on, because my head gets cold !!!!

I have always been a freezing cold person but when I got to my highest weight of 215.8lb I was always feeling hot, I was sweating loads and felt like I was always on fire.

I am now down to about 190lb and I feel okay with a regulated temperature. I think as my weight decreases, this will change.

I still get cold all the time...I don't think I am ever going to like it. ?

Oh yes I'm in that club freezing sat here with 2pairs of socks one pair being furry inside and slippers a long sleeved top and a fleece jacket and the heating on I'm terrible have to have loads of hot drinks , I had my op August the 23rd and at the end of November I was 45lbs down haven't been weighed since but I know I've gone smaller

I wear Under Armour almost all the time now under my clothes. It works well and now that my clothes are looser, there's plenty of room for them.
