Just wondering if anyone else has similar exp before going to the GP and making idiot of myself.

Since giving birth 13 months ago I've been constantly feeling cold _ i just don't seem to be able to warm up at all, even in the summer and I always used to be one of those people who just didn't feel the cold. Its really bugging me - am in heated office wearing my coat and scarf cos I'm frozen and everyone else is in t-shirts!

Is this just one of those wierd things that can happen or have I become a lizard and not noticed?

Have you developed scales and a large flicking tongue?

I was similar. Worked out it was because I was constantly tired and wasn't eating enough. Have snacks, especially if breastfeeding. Carbs is the best thing, so toast, sandwich etc... And it is damn cold at the mo, so I wouldn't panic! Might you be anaemic also? Check to see if the inside of your lower eyelids are a nice dark pink colour. Eat green leafy veg and red meat. And a nice warm cup of tea! HTH

I'm the same (but always have been) I always chalked it up to smal veins and low blood pressure.

But since you mentioned carbs, thinkI'll go find some chocolate.
