Hi all, has anyone experienced that their ability to deal with temperature changes after ICU has changed? My partner never complained of feeling cold in winter or found it difficult to cope in the heat in Summer, we live in Spain so have mild winters although Summer obviously can be hot however this has never affected him before he is really struggling is this an after effect of multiple organ failure or and 2 months in a coma? Any help appreciated! Thanks Lynn

My wife was in heaven at first because I needed the house to be warm - I definitely could not regulate my temperature. I never minded a cool house because I had worked on site all my life where heating was infrequent - suddenly I needed it boiling - now I’m back to normal 2 yrs on
