Hyposensitivity to cold

Post Reply New Topic

Wow, -5? When I was still not really using a jacket, 1 year ago, I once thought I was getting old, because I felt cold. It was 5(OVER 0, not below). Of course, that WAS fahrenheit. -5f is -15 celsius. I was actually COMFORTABLE in 22f. I probably said that somewhere else here! Now THIS is eary!! !! From GOOGLE "22 degrees Fahrenheit = -5.55555556 degrees Celsius" BTW even today I am fine with some pretty cold temperatures.

ALSO, fat doesn't seem to affect it, and most people that are 2-4 times as fat as I am are STILL far more sensitive to the cold.

I love the cold. When it's hot I can't stand it. I loose myself if that makes sense? The heat literally makes me feel horrible. It's Dec first here in socal and it's still summer temps. Course when you come from the hundred teens down to low 90's it should feel cold... but it doesn't.

I'm both hypersensitive to cold and heat.
I like temperature between 22-25 degrees Celsius.
Today it was 30 grrr.
I cannot stand temps greater than 28 degrees. I start burning after about 10 minutes. My skin goes dry and I get red burns quite quickly.
When it is less than 18 degrees I need a jacket or two.
In winter it doesn't get cold enough to snow, but I'm always in a thick jacket with a thin jacket underneath and also wearing a scarf and gloves. It would be about 10-15 degrees.

Yes, and living in Chicago is doing wonders for me...

4 inches of snow on the ground, and it's only Dec 1...

I also dont like to be cold or hot....which is why I live in southern California...we dont have to put up with too much of either.
I have noticed however that my 3.5 year old autie daughter does not seem to mind being cold but gets very upset if it is too hot.

I'm skinny (51 kg at 165 cm height) and I hate heat, tolerate cold very well. it's not about bodily fat, more about blood circulation I guess

I'm more sensitive to cold in the fall/early winter, as I acclimatize to it, and more sensitive to it when I'm undernourished/anemic. Being overweight tends to go with anemic so I'm both fat and more sensitive to cold right now. Ask me again in February, though, and my definition of what's cold will be different, plus my sensitivity to it.

I'm not hyposensitive, but I do like being on the cool side, and my natural body temperature is about 1°C below average (there's a range).

Hypersensitive to both extremes, I suppose...but cold is a lot nicer because it's a whole lot easier to get relief

Average weight here...and I'd have to say my ideal is somewhere from mid-70s to the 80s...with moderate humidity. Can't stand high humidity because it's just miserable, and low humidity's not that great either...my lips chap like crazy and you can't pet the kitties without static zaps all over @_@ I don't know how they tolerate it.

Ditto. On the thin & the cold. I'm super thin and love the cold. I think it might have more to do with metabolism then blood flow.. though maybe both? I don't sit around much due to my fast metab, always moving, always doing something. I get hot really easily simply moving around at my high speed.
