Response:
I know how you feel. I’ve always seem to be cold. I can wear long sleeves and jeans in the middle of summer in Arizona (we’re talking 110 degree weather). I’ve had lots of blood work done and went to see a rheumatologist and he told me that I have raynauld’s phenomenia. It causes blood vessels to contract b/c they preceive the body as being cold — which makes you colder. Not to worry you, but there are two types of raynauld’s. One is that you just have it and the other is that it is a symptom of some other disease (like lupus and some others). Just thought this might help. Take care and keep warm.
