If you 'feel the cold', it is probably because you _are_ cold

I’m the opposite - nearly always too hot , fast pulse and slightly higher than average temperature. I have always been like that.

Have you had your thyroid function checked?

My tip for “Cold bods” do a bit of vacuuming, you’ll be stripping down to your thermals in no time😀

And me. I’m permanent hot.

It’s sort of reassuring Monica to know that I am actually hot.

When I went to the hospital with DH last month the nurse took my temperature and she was amazed at how hot I was.

I never need to wear a coat. Even when it’s really cold, I just wear a cardigan.

The Summer is an absolute nightmare. I dread it every year.
I can’t stand the bright light either.

Blimey, I sound a miserable sod!

I too feel the cold,i always wear a cardigan/hoodie even in the summer.
I do get comments,then i put my hand on their arm,they soon shut up.

I am miserably cold all the time. Today the sun is shining and.....I am wearing a thermal top.

When DD and DIL were living with us earlier this year, the heating was going full blast and I was still cold. They said it was positively tropical in our home and couldn't wait to get into their new home.

Same here MOnica, Raynauds too, about 25 is comfortable.

Firstly I agree that the Science Centre is a fantastic place for children and adults!

I’m always warm and rarely wear a coat. In fact I have never owned a traditional winter coat, only waterproof types and lightweight trench styles.

I have low blood pressure, low resting heart rate, low cholesterol and low body temperature. I’m always on the move though.
No idea if any of this has any bearing on anything but I’m tempted to visit the centre to see if I’m a warm person.

I’m always cold unless the weather is really hot.

I wear thermals under my jumpers most days my hands and feet are always cold. I have to wear layers especially when it's damp as it affects my joints and arthritis.
When the weather is warm I like to wear summer dresses but I always have a thin jacket or cardigan with me. I don't like very hot weather either I just think it's my fair skin freckles and all.

Hot tattie here too! Can't stand to be too hot. Maybe it's because I was brought up in a house where we had ice on the inside of the windows for about three months of the year, and no central heating then either. I still live in the same house, but thankfully we do now have central heating and double glazing - so those days have gone. We only put our heating on for a couple of months of the year - if the kids used to complain about the cold, they were told to put on a sweatshirt or watch tv with their duvets wrapped round them. Now they have their own houses, so they can have them as warm or cold as they like.

Sounds like an interesting place to visit.
Will see if I can get there one day.

I can blow hot or cold.
Would be interesting to see what the machine makes of me.

People reckon my internal thermostat or whatever it is, is faulty.

Fleurpepper I have been like this since childhood, and it is not excessive, just on a par with other chilly mortals, my mother, aunt, grandmother and sister were the same.

The interesting thing is that my hands were showing so cold on the thermograph, when , as far as I was concerned, they were not feeling cold at all, but perfectly normal.

Cold from the knees down, hot from knees up. Actually never know what to wear but winter is more easily dealt with!

Thermostat wars in our house because I feel the cold and Mr. S. is always warm.

I'm always hot ,high heart rate too,my OH is always cold has a resting heart rate in the low 50's and wears layers except on really warm days .I avoid the sun like the plague as I used to blister when I got any sunburn OH goes brown at the sight of the big orange ball in the sky .
Its remarkable we've lasted 49 years and been happy!

I think I must be a freak. My hand are usually very cold but my body is nice and warm.

Jaxjacky The strange thing is that I do not like a warm temperature. 18.5 degrees is what our CH is set at and no heat on between 10.00 and 4.00. I prefer to layer up, rather than turn the heating up.

Currently, sitting hear in a wooly sweater and shirt, overall I am warm, but my hands and feet feel a bit cold so in a few minutes I will put some extra socks on over my thick tights. DS is in a T shirt and bare foot.

But yesterday was a nasty cold, wet and windy day and outside I needed my quilted coat fully done up and I spent my whole time in the Science Centre like that, without overheating, as I said. DS, DGC were dressed as I would dress on a warm summer day.

I've just returned (late last night) from a much-appreciated few days break in Hull. I was freezing for all but the first morning but it wasn't because I was cold, it was because of the vicious wind that came whistling up the Humber and stayed for the rest of the visit. Silly me who should have known better didn't pack sweaters because the Easter weekend was so nice.

We get that wind up the Firth of Forth too, sometimes, but at least in Edinburgh there are hills to break it up a bit. Hull and its surroundings are just so relentlessly flat!

Incidentally I heartily recommend The Deep, the huge aquarium on the waterfront. I've seen aquaria before but this is an amazing experience that takes a good two hours to get round. Don't do as I did and go in the school holidays though. Not unless you like large numbers of excited (and bored) small children. In fact especially if you like small children, because the experience may well put you off for life!

I am a cold body but it has varied at different times of my life. I felt the cold less when I hit the menopause.
I am feeling the cold more again the last couple of years. I'm currently wearing three layers and wore five in the colder weather.
I know I feel the cold more when I am thinner as well.
I did read that older people feel the cold more as they have a thinner layer of fat under the skin- It's not because I am sitting about. I sat about a lot more when working in an office.

Cold hands, warm heart Dottydots. My hands are cold most of the time; great for making pastry though.

I am also always cold and own a ridiculous amount of cardigans lol

Pretty cold person I have a hottie bottle in bed all year round and never ever sleep uncovered as my feet get cold (no I haven’t got Reynards although one daughter has)
I do not know what it is to sweat (as in wet droplets on brow or lip or underarms etc ) I ve never ever sweated and had absolutely NO hot flushes ever
When I lived in the tropics I was fine by day but sent home for my mum to send my hot water bottle out for the night time

I'm chilly fall/winter, have heat up and fireplaces roaring.

Summer, If I'm too warm, must have air conditioning set on cool.

Seasonal change. Odd init?
