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??

I'm the opposite. I die in hot weather. I can't stand it. I break out into a sweat if the temp is anything above 80.
But I also live in a large city (NY). The air quality is probably not too good.
It's not only hot here in the summer, but humid and I feel like suffocating.

In the winter, however, I am comfortable in the snow and in freezing temperatures.
I love going for long walks in the winter.

I am also lean and athletic.

I guess it depends on the person?

I know this.
I live in The Netherlands, a relatively cold (and wet) part of Europe. Especially in the winter. I can't stand it if there is a window open just a slight bit because the cold just gives me shivers. Going outside in the winter is always hell. Somehow my fingers and toes seem to go numb and it looks like there is no blood in them. I hate cold

But here is the funny thing.
I used to go on holiday to Greece or Italy, were the weather is really, really warm. And now because of economy issues I didn't went on vacation this year. I barely catched any sun this year and my problems with cold are over. Its like Im used to it.

Excuse my double posting; new to forum-posting, in the basic sense.

Makes me think of the possibility in lifestyle difference, such as the uhm..different foods or...something, in Greece that you were doing? I see though, your acclimation of the cold. Huh.
I guess it must be conditional to every person, like said above. Just seems like something that could be analyzed to the extent of being able to act and make changes to lifestyle such as foods or mineral intakes that may help with this "problem".

I found this; Interesting. Yet entirely incorrect when applied to my person.
But maybe this will help people in some way. Any information is good information...I....think...

"According the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), some people have cold constitution, they feel cold most of the time, their limbs are cold, lack of vitality and have various chronic symptoms: fatigue, stiff neck, shoulders and back; menopausal problems, strokes, diabetes, myocardial infarction, and hyperlipemia.

Self Test for Hypothermia
As estimated, almost 90% of the tropical city dwellers are having cold body constitution. Areyou one of them?Take the simple test below: Do you frequently feel:
Stiffness on shoulders
Headache

Think this is better; This seems more understandable; since fat people tend to look sweaty or full of water. I always look like Im about to die. This list seems correct at first look.

Anything under 77 and I freeze - quite literally. Anything over 77 is absolutely fine, it's difficult or impossible for me to get too hot.
But anything under 77 is my worst nightmare, it's just varying degrees of freezing - it was 44 the other day and it felt like my nose was about to fall off..

Yang and hot type any thing over 80f 27c is too hot, but good to 35f 1.6c with out a jacket lower if there is no air moving.
Kjas and Beautifulpainting would freeze here right now 65f 18c outside I'm inside eating flavored ice in front of a fan with a wet town on my shoulders. I don't sweat enough to cool I'm designed for the cold not the heat.
Tomorrow 90f+ 32c+

Yup. I used to live in New York as well. Summers were miserable because it was, as you say, as hot as 85-90 degrees Farenheit (around 29-32 centigrade), humid on some days, and the air tends to smell of used fossil fuel, urine and doodoo in some places.

On the other hand, A news crew stopped me in the street one winter day. I think it was around 20 Farenheit, and I was in shorts and a T-shirt. As embarrassing as that was for me, I guess better a news crew than the police.
