can't keep warm

[flipbarnett 0]

I've been having cold chills and can't seem to keep warm for several months now. Today I had 2 jackets on, cold chills, shaking and thought it was my sugar dropping. I thought I was going to pass out. I went to dr and he is running test to see where the infection is. Does anyone else stay cold all the time? Oh and I eat ice all day long!!

Thanks

I get cold a lot, too! I have been known to sit in the car in Phoenix, Arizona in August with the windows up, just to warm up. I have lost 100 lbs. I have been reminded that that makes a big difference. Karen

Eating ice? Well that could be making you cold... but it is also a sign of anemia. You might need more Iron in your diet. Hope the tests provide you answers and has an easy remedy. Good luck.

you do get cold when you lose weight. i am cold often now too. not all the time though. how is your Iron levels?

Congrats on the weight loss! After 50lbs, the only time I was warm was during a hot flash. I always have a light jacket in the car and usually am the only one in the house that thinks the AC needs to be turned off. Iron levels could be low, so you might get told to up the intake.

Lol, yes I tend to be only warm during a hot flush too. I went through being freezing, it lasted about 9 mnonths but gradually my body acclimatised to being lighter and having less fat.

I freeze all the time now. To the point where I have no feelings in my fingertips.

oh me too! So cold when everyone around me is warm or at least comfortable and then suddenly I'm ripping off layers when a hot flush hits .

I used to be the person who was always hot...now, I'm the person wearing a cardigan at work (even in the summer) and who has a blanket over her legs while watching TV with the family.

Got most of the results back. I am anemic, low Iron, low folic acid and B12. I also have a fibroid on my Uterus and a cyst the size of a baseball on my right ovary. No pneumonia. I'm hooked up now getting 2 units of blood. Not as cold but got a headache. Guess I really need to watch that Iron. lol
