Always cold ....

Just wondering if anyone else has similar exp before going to the GP and making idiot of myself.

Since giving birth 13 months ago I've been constantly feeling cold _ i just don't seem to be able to warm up at all, even in the summer and I always used to be one of those people who just didn't feel the cold. Its really bugging me - am in heated office wearing my coat and scarf cos I'm frozen and everyone else is in t-shirts!

Is this just one of those wierd things that can happen or have I become a lizard and not noticed?

Have you developed scales and a large flicking tongue?

I was similar. Worked out it was because I was constantly tired and wasn't eating enough. Have snacks, especially if breastfeeding. Carbs is the best thing, so toast, sandwich etc... And it is damn cold at the mo, so I wouldn't panic! Might you be anaemic also? Check to see if the inside of your lower eyelids are a nice dark pink colour. Eat green leafy veg and red meat. And a nice warm cup of tea! HTH

I'm the same (but always have been) I always chalked it up to smal veins and low blood pressure.

But since you mentioned carbs, thinkI'll go find some chocolate.
