  I was a year round shorts guy, genuinely didn’t feel the cold. Last year I suddenly became a year round thermal stockings, skivee, thermal gloves, jumper and woollen pants guy.

  I can’t get warm. It’s like I’m catching up on 30+ years of never feeling the cold by feeling the cold all the time.

    Oh dear. Have you had your thyroid checked?

      Yup, thyroid, adrenals, and gonads have been checked, both with blood work and untrasound.

      I have dysautonomia due to a brain stem herniation, and temperature regulation is effected by that, but it’s just been so weird that the way this symptom effects me was decades of not feeling the cold, then suddenly now I’m not feeling the heat.

      I know which one I’d choose if I got to pick… and it’s the one where I don’t need to go to a wound nurse for frost nip in February.

        Oh your poor hypothalamus. I’m glad you were thoroughly investigated though- any time there’s a sudden change like that it’s definitely something medical. Does the brain stem herniation affect you in any other ways?
