I am freezing and am almost solid ice.

I finally went out and bought a double control electric blanket for the bed so I can have my side warm.  It makes all the difference in the world at night.  I used to lay in bed for an hour trying to get warm.....now I turn the blanket on a little before I go to bed and get warm fast!  It's pure heaven!/quote]

My husband is an electric blanket and he always goes to bed before me.

I am also cold more these last couple of years than I have ever been.  I have spoken about this to both endo's and neither of them seemed to be concerned (I guess if the TSH level is good, nothing else matters - as the first endo office let me know , and they wonder why I don't go there anymore).

My temperature was always right around 97.2 - steady.  Now a days, it's all over the place (and it has been so low as to not register on a normal 4 minute thermomater), and no doctor really seems to care.  Sad.  If anyone has been helped to get their body temperature back to a normal range, please do pass the information, a some of us would love to know what helped.

Take care -

We use to have the dual control blankie. I would wake up to find my husband sweatting his brains out, with his side on high. I would have to climb over top of him and turn his side off. And he would never remember.

Now we have a heated mattress cover with one control, on my side.    Poor guy says he misses his blankie, I just say, "sorry hon." Sometimes we ladies just need the control. 




My feet can turn into blocks of ice, but I believe my Hypothyroid meds have helped.

I also wish I had an electric blanket, but my husband heats up fast. lol... What are some good prices on electric blankets? I haven't  priced one in a long time.

I just came back from seeing my GP.  i have bronchitis and am running a fever of 100 d.  I also told the PA my normal temp is 97. so that is several degrees of fever.  She just looked at me.

I was given a 10 minute breathing treatment.  She gave me an antibiotic and a spray for the ashthma.   I also got some diflucan so I can deal with the yeast infection I'll get.  Hopefully, I'll be good as new in a few days.

A fever like that would certainly make you feel cold!

Hope you feel better soon.

Rest up and take care - Scottie

Just another thought:

When I first complained to my rheumy of always feeling cold he said: "Well maybe that's a defence mechanism of the body in the fight against rheumatism." So in other words, there could be a good reason why we are feeling cold?

Hmph! Another good excuse for to going to the Caribbean!
