Re: About L's Complaint: She's So Cold

Roma, you are a star!!

I'd love to talk further about this topic as I really feel the cold too.

Some possible things I've considered (as an ignorant layperson)

have included:

hypo thyroid

blood sugars

hypo-glaecemia

Raynauds Syndrome

anxiety/panic/stress, anaemia

Something like pelvic congestion with the fibroids?

Something mimicking an illness, like a pollutant

Blood pressure

I started a thread on this at the soul cysters site and got some

interesting responses. I've also had some reconition of this on

Smartgroups UK.

In December I was diagnosed with having low iron in the blood

and apparently cold pronenes is a symptom of anaemia.

I get cold proneness and also weird cold shivering bouts. You

can email me about this

When I get cold I do housework to warm up! Ironing with a mug

of hot chocolate nearby is very effective in about 3 shirts.

Hoovering is almost immediate. Making the beds also helps

quickly. I have a hot water bottle and a woolly hat at the side of

the bed! I've become very adept at learning tricks of keeping

warm and noticing which of my clothes are the warmest. I ask for

drinks without ice when we go out and purposefully try and site

near radiators and away from doors.

The iron tablets may be helping alleviate cold proneness, but it's

hard to say. I'm wondering if it has any correlation with certain

times of the month.
