Hi
just to start- I am NOT trying to pretend this is normal because I know it’s not really, I was just wondering if anyone else is like this?
im ALWAYS cold, no matter what. It’s awful. I wear thermals, layers, specific heatwarming all body layers etc etc. I’ve tried dressing gowns, heated blankets, hot water bottles, electric blankets for my bed, drinking hot drinks, wearing my jacket indoors etc etc. no matter what, I’m always cold. Our heating is generally set to around 22 all the time which everyone else is happy with but I’m always bloody freezing. Obviously I can’t do this as it would be unfair on everyone else, but I ideally need it up to 30. When I’m home alone I have it at 30 (the highest on our hearing) the entire time and I only feel a little chilly so it’s much more pleasant but if I could have it higher I probably would tbh.
at work I have my own room I work in (just me) and I have the heating at 30 the entire time. It’s one of those heating/air con combination units so you actually feel the hot air blast out of the unit and I sit directly under it, but even then I still feel a bit chilly until I’ve been under it for a while.
I don’t know why I’m like this! I’ve been to the GP, had bloods etc and I’m healthy. I’m not malnourished or severely underweight, my BMI is 21 and always has been. I play sports regularly and have good fitness. I’m just always blood freezing! it’s definitely getting worse too. I still feel it to an extent in summer but obviously winter is much much worse.
is anyone else like this?
