I am cold, all the time

I have the same problem..feeling cold. It started several years ago with no seemingly apparent cause. My thyroid related levels and blood counts are within normal limits, and I do not have Reynauds. Anyone feeling cold should definitely rule those things out. I wear a down coat nearly all the time - indoors and outdoors in autumn/winter. I'm a nurse, so I'm on my feet all day and that level of activity keeps me feeling comfortable in short sleeved scrubs. However, as soon as I sit down for a few minutes, I start getting chilly. I just layer up and go on with life. I buy really cute gear to keep me warm so at least I enjoy wearing it!

This was me all the time... during a decade of eating too little. I now fuel my body correctly (eat 2000+) and strength train, and I now tend to even live on the warmer side of life.

I still have friends who are cold all the time from not eating enough.

About the last two weeks or so, I have been cold.

I had a complete physical in October, so I know my health is fine.

I think it's the missing insulation.

I've been drinking hot herbal teas at night, and piling on the blankets.

Will my body adjust to being less insulated as time goes on?

I'm always cold in the winter. Heck, on a hot summer day, I can even break into goosebumps and shiver just moving from the sun into the shade. And I have been this way my whole life, even as a thin, active child, and it doesn't matter if I'm 240# or 120# or eating a lot or limiting my intake or if I'm exercising regularly or being a sloth. My thyroid function is low but not low enough to be outside of normal ranges requiring treatment so I figure it's part of that.

So I layer up, buy cute layers with an emphasis on Merino wool or Smartwool when I can find a good deal on it. And I love Cold Weather UnderArmor. Wow, that stuff keeps me warmer than any other kind of long underwear under my other layers.

The warmth from exercising only keeps me warm for a few minutes. I would have to do jumping jacks every 10 minutes or so. I regularly lift heavy, run, spin and do other fitness classes and I haven't noticed that it makes any long-term difference.

Right now, my husband is in the living room, laying on the couch, in a short-sleeve t-shirt, sweatpants, no shoes or socks and he's just fine. I'm in the kitchen with the doors closed, with a space heater going, and have a blanket over my legs/feet and a shawl over my shoulders.

I don't understand why he's not frozen solid. Yet, in the summer, I'm out on the hottest days, feeling great and loving it while he prefers staying in the cool house, preferring the even cooler basement. I wanna move to someplace warm like Mexico and he would rather move to Alaska. Oy veh!

Go to your doctor and ask to get your iron and vitamin B12 tested. You could be anemic. When your iron is low your blood can't circulate properly causing you to be cold. It also causes you to be exhausted constantly

This sounds like my husband and I, lol!! I'm always cold, but I'm slightly hypo with Raynauds, which is super annoying.

I perpetually drink hot tea and coffee during the winter to warm myself from the inside out.

I think it is a man thing. My kid rarely wears a coat. Is often barefoot in the house even though its FREEZING in here. Sleeps w/a fan on full blast - has one thin blanket and often opens the windows even though it is like 30 degrees out! He also isn't a fan of the hot weather I love.
