This issue may have already been addressed and I forgot.

 I live in the midwest and it is cold and snowy.  I find myself avoiding going outdoors I can' t stand the cold.

 

has anyone else done this?

Dear Roses,

I can no longer tolerate heat OR cold. I've moved very near the coast (less than 2 miles) so that the high temperature during the day is usually somewhere between 55 and 75 and the lows between 40 and 60. Occasionally it will get down to freezing or we'll have a really hot day, but very seldom.

I have Raynaud's syndrome plus erythromelalgia, which are neurovascular conditions. My feet and hands (but mostly feet, for me) react to the temperature and can become extremely painful if they get too hot or cold. Plus the Babesiosis sometimes makes me perspire even if I'm freezing!

I TOTALLY understand where you're coming from! I'm sorry that you live in a more extreme winter climate. It must be very difficult to deal with!

((((((((((rosesinjanuary))))))))))

rosesinjanuary, WE ARE ALL SO DIFFERENT.

i love the winter, and have always struggled with heat.

since moving to rocky mountain snow country, i've learned to wear wool (sweaters, socks, hats) most of the year, and i can always be comfortable. but only if i dress well!

with this illness, i do feel more sensitive to temperature, and wind, and need to keep covered.

what's weird is, in the summer, i will be so chilled at 75*.

and going out into 85* makes me so ill. too hot. narrow margin of comfort.

speaking of WOOL.....I got a little tip here for everyone. I worked in garment center half my life. What we wear is everything. As you all know everything has it's own vibration or 'light frequency".
fabric can be measured and the most powerful frequencies are WOOL and LINEN.
not cotton, not HEMP. definitely not polyiester and not even rayon. not even "organic" cotton.
Hemp is 12 signature frequency. cotton can be 50 to 500 if it is organic. polyester is zero.
No one who is chronically ill should be wearing polyiester.. definitely not sleepin on it.
For me my skin is so sensitive and I can only sleep on high thread count eqyptian cotton of my own linen fabric. and I can not wear any polyiester...it FREAKS me out.

Wool has a signature frequency of 5000

Linen has a signature frequency of 5000.

and never to blend the two together . they cancel each other out.

Linen is antimicrobial and is used in surgical proceedures . It lasts forever.
When people sleep on linen sheets they NEVER get bed sores.

It is the HOLY FIBER.

it protects you from the UV rays of the sun.

Once you have worn linen in heat of the summer you will never wear cotton again.

and when you wear PURE WOOL in winter you never get cold.

These fibers / fabrics are always mentioned in the bible.
When you wear linen you get happy and feel light. your whole moood is lifted.
when you wear wool you feel so strong and solid like this soft protective shield and mood is lifted.

check it out . people say they don'tlike linen because it wrinkles but if you use fabric softner
it comes out dryer just fine. I never iron my linen clothes. and the more wrinkled the more compliments I get. The older the pants the better they get.

When you wear linen the people around you get happy even. they are attracted to the light coming off the fiber.
anyone who wants to take a look you can go to my old web site angelheart.com
I'm not selling on line anymore but we kept the sight up for reference. My partner is Jeanne Angelheart
the Flax linen queen. take a peek to see what I mean about fun and happy fabric.

anyone with psorriasis should be wearing linen. it comes in light weight , medium weight, hanky weight and heavy weight. If you hang linen on your windows it will bring up the energy of the room.

It is the most healing fiber. What we surround ourselves with in terms of fabric, the couch , chairs, curtians, bedspreads ...the more natural fiber the better for us.
Ok ...enough . i could o on for days about this.
Actually , sticking more to the thread and temperature. my whole reality changed in ters of handling heat or cold after getting on low dose T3/T4 thyroid meds.

I also have a very narrow margin of comfort with temps. Like JoAnn, my feet get sooo very painful when they get a little too cold. And like Bauhaus, I can't tolerate much heat.

What I have discovered that has me scratchin' my head is how my tolerance to cold or heat can change from day to day or week to week.

Oh- BTW, I'm in the lower mid-west and they are forecasting snow to start tomorrow afternoon - Brrrr!!!!

I used to love the cold because I was always hot...LYME has changed that.

Hey Harleyrider.
Nice to see you! Hubby & I spent quite a bit of time in the KC area while he was working!! We really enjoyed being there & it was close enough for us to drive home every weekend if needed.

I forgot the cat food is the only reason I'm going to even step outside for the next couple of days!!!
It's 10 am & it's all of 21 degrees!! Brrrrrr!!
