I know I have read some posts in the past..but now I have the chills more and more. I used to get warm..and now...I'm cold so much more often. I have lost about 34 lbs (since 2/25)...but is it the weight loss..or is it my blood pressure being low? Any ideas? Time to go back to the fireplace! Hugs, Kimberly

Oh yeah, cold is now not just a state of mind. It could be that your blood pressure is too low. You can check it out at the pharmacy. But you will find that it your body is much colder than in the past. I sleep with an extra blanket on my side of the bed. I wear a sweater all the time around the house. My wife is worried that I won't let her use the AC this summer. So stay by the fireplace. Rob

I'm cold all the time now too (except when I exercise of course). I especially find I am cold at night when I lay in bed. We have lost some of our "insulation"..*L* Hope

Linda, I used to be hot all the time. I wore Berkinstock sandals to work everyday, even in winter.My feet are usually hot. Never slept with anything but a nightie & a sheet on me. Now I sleep with a nightgown, robe, flannel sheet, blanket, comforter and footies on. About 3PM I sit in my recliner with my hands under the heating pad. Brett said it is because the Blood pressure goes down & low circulation. I am off the BP meds now. I never had to do the blood thinner injections. In the mornings I am up and about and busy and the circulation is good. But I wind down in the PM and thats when I start to freeze. I guess this is normal. Good luck. ((HUGS)) Elissa
