No I must say that i use artificial heat all the time (everyday) in the form of wheat bags, heat patches and I use electric blanket most nights when I first get into bed. i find that I have an aversion to cold (just typing it sent shivers done my spine)

I wish I could suggest something for you but i don't know what to say as I would go mad without heat.

maybe ask your GP for some advice?

good luck

has it been checked lately? sweating and dizziness COULD be due to carbon monoxide being given off from your gas appliances. get them checked out if not been done since you noticed these symptoms.x

I cannot tolerate extreme cold or heat of any kind, real or artificial. In the winter hubbyhas the heat on and it drives me insane. But I would get your heating system checked out all the same xxxxx
