I have had bouts of being like this. Literally once I had goosebumps while I was completely submerged in a hot bath, and there just didn't seem to be any way to get warm enough. And that's very strange for me because I've always tended toward being too warm compared to everyone else.

A couple of thoughts - are you on blood thinners or other medication that might be causing the cold feeling, or could you possibly be anemic? Those were two of the things which caused me problems with being cold. Just an idea.

I hope you can find some way to deal with it or find a solution and feel better.

I am on blood thinners and actually sleep with a hot pad. I'm Never warm

thanks for the input,i'm not on blood thinners,and my blood work does not show that I'm anemic,I sleep with a heating pad as well sometimes 2,have long johns on all the time and still am wrapped in a blanket

I'm cold most of the time as well, but its because i'm quite anemic and I'm on iron pills at the moment !

It is very frustrating especially when my friends are running off in t-shirts and i'm all bundled up in a scarf and an thick overcoat buttoned to my neck.

But I find that if I stay warm its easier to keep warm rather than be cold and then try and warm up (if that makes any sense). So there are times when I am wearing two pairs of trousers, but I'd rather that than be cold!

Hope you find some relief that works for you soon!

Yes, I am cold all the time! The only thing that makes me warm up is when I'm on higher doses of prednisone. Other than that, I wear long johns and am wrapped in blankets much of the time, and I sleep with a heating pad. I wear a fleece jacket inside most of the time, always wear slippers, and wear warm gloves or mittens anytime I am outside for any length of time. I also wear Bogs boots which are the warmest I've found. Doesn't help that I live in Alaska! Haha.

Jolene, I completely understand what you mean about it being easier to stay warm than to try to warm up after getting cold. It's like once you get cold, it's over, and it feels like you'll never get warm again!

Me too. Heating blanket was the BEST present from my parents. I wanted an iphone really bad and was very dissappointed when I got the blanket instead. Until....it got colder and I got colder. I have the same issue where nothing can warm me up except hot water or my heating blanket. So I too try not to 'get' cold so I don't have to try so hard to warm up. I'm sure it has to do with what all the inflammation does to our bodies, to our blood etc... I have been wanting to get my ferririn tested, I am going to ask my doc next visit to do so. This is supposed to be the best way to test for iron deficiency levels. This is a really great read: http://www.thewayup.com/newsletters/081504.htm

Sending (((warm hugs))) your way! :)

Yes, I get varying temperature ranges. Sometimes I'm sweating buckets and other times I'm ice cold to the point where I have the heater on in the summer.
It's hard to manage but I guess you have to adjust to it.
