Extremely Severe Sensitivity to Temperature

Post Reply New Topic

I live in Texas. Right now it is easily over 100 degrees. I am in my apartment right now, painting.

I have my Heat on and it is 86 degrees in my apartment. This is normal. I am wearing a sweatshirt even though it is 86 degrees in my apartment. This too is normal and feels even better than when I do not have a sweatshirt on, which I normally attempt at doing because, I uhm...live in Texas? And, people think I am incredible whenever I have my sweatshirt on in public. I never sweat and I feel soooooo good in the heat. By the way, saunas are not hot enough to make me sweat, only after an (actual) average of thirty minutes do I break into a sweat in a regular sauna. It makes me feel weird to sit there all not-sweaty with people breathing hard, sweating their butts off.

The coldness inside stores and other places causes me to get goosebumps and makes my appendages numb, sometimes instantly--when everybody else is just fine. I commonly ask people why everything is so cold in here.

I always say I am SO glad to live in Texas because of the heat. 
I use to go running when it was record temperatures of 106-110 and be just dandy,
During the winter I will have such dry skin that it took one razor cut three months to heal, the entire winter, I went to the dermatologist to get ointment to help it heal since it was a dry opening of skin! Like Frankenstein!

Anybody else have this difficulty

I do understand I am very skinny and also very lean, but I have always had these difficulties dating back to when I was a child. 

My car likely reaches temperatures in the mid 110-120 during the day? Ill sit in it before going anywhere else sometimes like I am in Heaven, and it feels Perfect, and it literally must easily be over 110 degrees.

Anybody have thoughts or experience this??

My experience is somewhat reverse since I tend to like things at or below body temperature (Coming from someone who grew up in the desert where it was 64 in the winter and 120 in the summer). I do have an incredibly high tolerance as a result. A common question my family used to be asked was how I could not be cold. But an inside joke is that I am like a computer - consistently trying to find ways to "not over heat." I sleep/lie on the floor all the time, I am sleeping with blankets less and less, I consistently seek out "cold" food, etc. I do not like hugs because of body heat, and unless it is dangerously freezing outside (or more specifically windy), I do not particularly pay attention to how little I am wearing. Generally I have a tendency to want to take off my pants, but I only do that when I am alone (and there are probably other issues that factor in as well).

This happens to me too. Air conditioning at "normal" temperatures is cold to me, and I really love the heat.

No, I have the complete opposite, I hate heat, I like cold. Well .. sort of. I like to dress warmly in the cold, sleep in the cold with lots of blankets, etc. I find heat intolerable because there is no way to control it or escape it.

I am sensitive to changes in temperature more than anything. I am more sensitive to heat than cold. I feel whatever input my body is getting. If I am in front of the A/C I am cold, if I am outside in the sun, I am burning up. The same goes for winter conditions. My ideal situation is in front of the A/C w/ a blanket or sheet on. The warm and cold inputs cancel each other out and I get that "Ahhh!" feeling of relief that I only otherwise get in doorways.
