Anyone else cold?

[ROprish]

Is anyone else having trouble staying warm? I am always cold, even when it's 80 degrees! It's maddening!

[donna01]

No, but I would say get checked to see if you are anemic

[ROprish in reply to donna01]

I was anemic in February. I have since had iron infusions and, after monthly blood tests, am a smidge above normal. The Hematologist said no need to recheck until December.

I always feel on the warmer side. Any change in meds or anything?

[ROprish in reply to AliceYZ]

No change in meds. This has been happening for years. It must just be me...

You might have your doctor test thyroid function or tsh. A hypothyroid can make you feel cold. Or maybe that is just the way you are.

[ROprish in reply to ninjagirlwebb]

My thyroid is totally normal. I have it checked constantly.

Yes!

Just the opposite, I am always hot and done with menopause for more years than I want to think about. No one has any answers for me so far so guess I will just enjoy the winters I have left. ☺️

I’m always cold , I dint think we realize we are over heating our bodies when we start piling on extra clothes. I found have to wear 100% cotton clothing that breath, I found wearing clothing that has elastasen or spandex trigger itch.

Hope this helps.

Sunny, I am in the same boat as you! I have to wear cotton or else I will itch like mad! No sweaters, no wool and no spandex! If I could live in a t shirt, i would! lol!

[SunnyXXOO in reply to donna01]

Always cold, but know enough not to pile on the clothing, I will over heat (not realizing it) and start itching. Wearing to many pieces of clothing, the itch creeps up. I tell ya, 100% cotton and breath well. Oh, I try to but seamless clothing because the inside seams trigger itch also, I wear my cloths inside out, as long as they don’t look crazy. All underwear are seamless. CRAZY!! But, it could be worse.

I am always cold, even when it’s 80 degree. I have hypothyroidism and on meds for that. It helps a little, not much. Another reason for being cold is poor/slow blood circulation. There are meds for it but I rather dress warm than taking meds.

Hope you feel a little better knowing you are not alone.

Hi ROprish

I realise this post is 6 months old but thought I'd add my 2 cents worth!

I, like you, have a cirrhotic liver and also have problems with regulating body temperature meaning I am cold a lot of the time ( a damaged liver would seem to account for this ). I also developed aching, restless legs quite suddenly and this is now ( another) constant companion !

I'm awfully sorry you are as unwell as you are - are you still managing to work with so many complications of cirrhosis?

Take care
