ErinO replied to Errie's discussion 'Winter is coming... and I'm COLD.'"I'm glad I read this because I used to have a really high tollerance of the cold, and in the past few years I've become a total wimp...I didn't think it was the onset of Neuropathy, but I just assumed I had poor circulation due to…"

PatientX replied to Errie's discussion 'Winter is coming... and I'm COLD.'"i started to experience this also. I used to be good about feeling good in the cold but lately I am just freezing in the middle of the night. I go from shivering at night to being hot. At night I wake up shivering but right before I go to bed I am…"
Kathy replied to Errie's discussion 'Winter is coming... and I'm COLD.'"Yup I'm always freezing too - but heck, I live in Minnesota. I also have hypothyroidism and anemia, both which can contribute. But, since I'm now approaching age 60, I don't give a heck if I look like a stuffed polar bear - bring on…"
christy replied to Errie's discussion 'Winter is coming... and I'm COLD.'"Well after only 1 year and an a1c, I can just about guarantee its your foots NOT about to come off. I know cold weather makes me more insulin resist. I live in VA, along the coast, so our weather is generally pretty mild too, with Sandy just blowing…"
acidrock23 replied to Errie's discussion 'Winter is coming... and I'm COLD.'"A Lannister always pays his debts! I freaked out about this a couple of years ago, I was working out w/ bare feet in a cold gym several nights/ week and had one toe that got colder than the other ones, the doc looked at it, no wounds or anything,…"
Zoe replied to Errie's discussion 'Winter is coming... and I'm COLD.'"Yes, definitely have it checked again. Sometimes it takes awhile to get the Synthroid dose stabilized."
Spock replied to Errie's discussion 'Winter is coming... and I'm COLD.'"My thyroid levels have been medicated to 30 years and I am still cold. Synthroid needs adjustment sometimes, so check it out.
However, as in my case. control of thyroid does not mean warm all the time."
Errie replied to Errie's discussion 'Winter is coming... and I'm COLD.'"Actually, I had blood work done a few months ago, and my endo told me my thyroid antibodies were elevated and prescribed me a synthroid for hypothyroidism. I started to feel better than before after a few days, but I'm starting to feel back to…"
Zoe replied to Errie's discussion 'Winter is coming... and I'm COLD.'"I would definitely have your thyroid checked as being cold can be a symptom of hypothyroidism which is fairly common in type 1's.
Spock - my hands and feet are always cold due to poor circulation (my father had it too, but it does seem worse…"
Shawnmarie replied to Errie's discussion 'Winter is coming... and I'm COLD.'"GoT was the first thing I thought of when I saw this! I'm a cold one too, always have been. I was just diagnosed a year ago, but have been hypothyroid for about six years, so figured it might be that. I've noticed that with the cold…"
Wren replied to Errie's discussion 'Winter is coming... and I'm COLD.'"I hope it's just due to what sounds like an abrupt drop in the temperature. Have you lost weight recently? I was always freezing last winter prior to my diagnosis in early March, but I think it was because I was losing a lot of weight.
Love the…"
Spock replied to Errie's discussion 'Winter is coming... and I'm COLD.'"I have been Type 1 for fifty years and have always been cold. I am currently sitting in the living room wearing a heavy sweat shirt, heat is on, there is a space heater in the kitchen (to help dry some new spackling on a kitchen remodel,) and my gas…"
