For example, I have a desk job where I sit in front of a computer ALL day long. I find that I get extremely cold. From what I know, losing body fat will make one feel cooler, faster. The whole point of cardiovascular training is to make your heart work well, but be able to recover faster. That means, your heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure recover faster from intense workouts. This is the good stuff. It also means that you need to work harder to get a more intense workout as you get more fit. This is why adding on muscle tissue helps to achieve that intensity (you're adding weight that actually improves cardiac function.) So...as a PA I'd say, wear a sweater, walk around the office briskly a couple times during your break, drink hot herbal tea, and keep doing what you're doing. There is a medically known syndrome for people who have chronically cold hands and feet (more common in women) called Reynaud's syndrome. These people never feel warm, and wear gloves to get stuff out of the freezer. I don't think that's where you are. :-) a "I still miss those I loved who are no longer with me but I find I am grateful for having loved them. The gratitude has finally conquered the loss.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2001 Report Share Posted February 8, 2001 Hmmmm. I've noticed this too. I thought it was the super cold water I was drinking, but the matabolism thing seems like a plausable explanation. You're not strange -- I least I don't think so.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hiya I just wondered why my temp doesn't increase with more armour then I saw this page. ''Body temperature also varies at different parts of the body. Oral temperatures, which are the most convenient type of temperature measurement, is at 37.0 °C. This is the accepted standard temperature for the normal core body temperature. Axillary temperatures are an external measurement taken in the armpit or between two folds of skin on the body. This is the longest and most inaccurate way of measuring body temperature, the normal temperature falls at 97.6 °F or 36.4 °C'' http://hypertextbook.com/facts/LenaWong.shtml Well the truth is that from 2 1/4 grains I was at 36.4C, it climbs occasionally but always ends up at a constant 36.4C thereafter. I am now at 3 grains with exactly the same temp which I always take under the arm and it seems my temp is now perfectly normal. In fact I took it 3 times yesterday and it was the same all 3 times, amazing. Shame I still don't feel well in various ways. Anyone any idea why I don't go over hot or hyper if my temps normalise 3/4 of a grain below what I am on now? lotsa luv Dawnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi Dawn I have wondered the exact same thing as you. I'm taking 100mcg of T3 (no Armour, it made me feel really rough) and my body temp stays at a constant 36.5 or 36.6 during the first 2 weeks of my cycle. After that it varies, but that is normal. I asked Dr P about body temp when I met him in November and he said that the body temp reading itself is slightly less important than how you feel, ie do you feel warm or cold? Also, I know everyone seems to agree that underarm temps are lower than oral temps, but in my case, I have exctly the same temp underam as I do orally. So I'm afraid I cant answer your question!

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi Dawn I have just taken my temperature orally and it is 35.6, yesterday it was 34.2 at one point but at another 36.2 and I am cold, even my gums are cold, yet I take 200mcg thyroxine and my bloods say I am mega hyper (like my FT4 is double what it should be and my FT3 is at the very top of the range).

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi Thanks so much,that makes sense. Now thought I have the problem of not knowing by temperature (as it is normal already) whether I should raise again or not. Mind you, I have a few weeks to go on this dose until the T4 builds so perhaps I should wait for evidence of hyper before I make any judgements . I was relying on temps to judge my dosage you see. lotsa luv Dawnx > Hi Dawn and all, > > The reason why you were not dead when you started this mess is that your body was making some, but deficient, thyroid hormones. Then as you add hormone replacements, your body cuts back on the amount that it is making. You have described that regulatory characteristic of being better and then falling back as you body adjusts to the added replaceements.... > > Have a great, or at least a better day, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi Dawn I have just taken my temp again this morning before getting out of bed this time so I dont feel cold and it is 34.9. I know I have a naturally low body temp in that it has never been recorded as reaching 37 but didnt realise it was this low. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi Just because there are lots of thyroid hormones I the blood doesn't mean that they will get into the tissues where they are needed. Have a look at the files where there is a list of things that can interfere with absorption- .
