CONSTANTLY COLD... Anyone else

Ok, so am I experiencing a vitamin deficiency or is it just that I am "thin" now and without my layers of "big-girl" to keep me warm???? I use to sweat constantly in my big girl 5x days and now I am constantly cold. I sleep in full pajamas - I am still wearing long sleeves and I am really cold. I am constantly wrapped in blackets etc while I am home. Anyone else out there experiencing this? Have an idea why? Synergy

Hi Melanie, I too am cold all the time. My understanding is that it has something to do with the fewer calories we take in. Since we don't eat as much we don't have as much fuel (energy) to keep our bodies warm. I am waiting for summer time to warm up. Loree

Synergy, I'm a lot more colder than when heavy that is for sure. I was really cold and the beginning of winter and at my 6th month apt (January) started taking iron. This seems to have helped. I'm still much colder but it was unbearable before. Have you had your labs done recently? Heidi

ME TOO! Just got a full blood work done and everything is normal ( except my good cholestorol - too low I have to take "fish capsules" ) so it's not my iron. I think my body is just in shock of not have all the extra layers on to keep me warm. My co-worker is 5 years out and still freezing. She still wears short sleeves and jeans in the dead of summer with temp reaching 100+! On the bright side it's in the 80's now and for the first time in years, I'm not on the verge of pasting out from the heat yet. I'm still wearing jeans and most of the day a sweatshirt. I think this is going to be a rather enjoyable summer for me! I m Stronger Than Myself Janice

I live in Hawaii and have been freeing my butt off since about 3 months out, I wear a jacket all the time. My friends think I am nuts. I wear jeans all the time cuz I am too cold for shorts and its 80 outside, my poor kids are hot and I wont let them turn the a/c on
