Cold

Is feeling the cold is a symptom of CFS do you think? As with the weather getting colder in the UK is really beginning to kill me. Once the cold hits me i just feel sick in my body and i feel even more tired.
I tend to feel the cold on my arms, neck and my face and forehead. Has any of this happened to you?

Hmmm, I don`t know the answer to that but I can sure tell you that the cold really bothers me and my pain level.
I just thought it went with aging but maybe it part of having cfs.

Intolerance to cold and heat are common symptoms with CFS, along with body temperature dysregulation, it makes for a great deal of difficulty.

That's why I'm heading south forever. I actually experience cold AS pain. Sounds a bit weird, but the two are inseparable for me. And what does your body do when it gets cold? It ramps up energy metabolism and drives blood to your torso to to keep itself going. Brain goes dead. And I recover from it slower and slower, each time. I couldn't do one more winter. Not one more. Each has been worse than the last. Now I'm done and I know it. So I'm heading out for good in a few days.

I send you virtual mukluks, heating pad, and fleecewear. And a dehumidifier for your place to get rid of the damp.
