Taz, sure you must be champing at the bit to feel better again and down the pub in the evening.  It's rubbish when you feel pants!

Hope your GP can help tomorrow, take all her advice & don't feel guilty.

Pretty sure it's not Reynaud's CLKD. Fingers & toes don't feel like ice. Don't have that gloived look. It's my poor bod that needs an electric blanket. If I didn't think I'd look a right plonker I'd be buying a fur onesie for around the house.

C.mas is coming   

I have had extremes of temp., usual for me at this time of year: start off well wrapped up, do some walking or gardening and need to strip off, then find I am suddenly chilly when I sit down in the evening    ........... will you check with the Surgery?

[Joyce]

Keeping a record of it for now. Don't have a lot of faith in GPs at the moment.  Will see if anything transpires. Maybe just a bit of a blip. It's up a bit tonight, but then I've been wrapped up.

Just never felt so cold without there being a good reason for it.

Thyroid?  Anaemia?

How are you this morning?

[Joyce]

Having had blood tests two weeks ago apparently anaemia & thyroid have been ruled out. They also tested for infection - nowt! I'm supposedly healthy! 

Still low today, maybe that's just the way I'm going to be. I read that only when temp falls to 34ish do they worry, so guess I'm getting knickers in a twist over zilch! 

[CLKD]

Never mind the knickers in a twist, it's how you feel on a daily basis and we are prone to noticing any bodily alterations at 'our' age 

What would a lower than 'normal' temp indicate anyway?

[Elena]

Those all in one padded ski suits look lovely and warm, I've often thought of buying one to wear round the house in winter.

and what's wrong with a fur onesie???

[Joyce]

Hypothyroidism, hypothermia to name but two.

Think I may just check out onesies.

Cubagirl here is some info  http://kittywampus.wordpress.com/2010/12/02/menopause-and-a-broken-thermostat/

[Joyce]

I used to have the cold flushes before/after hot ones. Barely get hot ones now due to HRT. It's more a case of constant coldness. My thermostat sure is broken! 

[CLKD]

Some people lack brown fat across the nape of the neck and back of the shoulder blades which can cause a feeling of coldness.

Onesies ..........  ............ baby-gros for adults? 

[Elena]

Don't have fat on my shoulder blades, brown or any other colour!  Wonder if I could transplant some from my stomach....

[honeybun]

Only if it's brown Milliemoo

  

Anyone know what brown fat is.

Have to say I'm none the wiser.
