Anyone else cold all the time?

[sybercom11]

Do any other girls here who are taking hormones feel cold all the time.

I don't mean in summer, but in the months where it is even in the 60s, I just always feel like I am freezing.

[Jenna1561]

No, not all the time. Right now I'm actually a bit warm. But I agree that since I've been on Hormones, I notice the cold more. Of course, for me it could simply be aging.

I must admit I do notice it a lot more than I used to... I'm indoors now with the heating on, wearing a cardigan, and I'm still shivering.. Brrrrrrrr!

Yeah, me too...It's really damp feeling around here today, Brrrr

I'm definitely more heat & cold sensitive, but I noticed I don't sweat as much in the summer though, so that's a good thing.

If girls are experiencing cold-flashes while on hormones, and pretty much regardless of whatever weather is out there I'm ALWAYS cold, I'm gonna be SCREWED if I start hormones.. ;) *teeth chatterchatterchatter* I never take my coat off at work, if I do I give it about 30 minutes and I'm freezing again. *throws hands up* I give up. :P

[MJ]

yes i tend to feel the cold more i put it down to the hormones. something i just have to get use too i guess

Hello, My hands and feet were always cold and now on hrt I am cold most of the time and no matter how I try I cant get warm. Before hrt I would come home and turn the air down cold now I have the heat on

Genetic women and genetic men have different circulations - as anyone who's ever shared a bed with a member of the opposite sex already knows..

Yes! My feet began hurting in November and didn't get better until I got insulated hunting boots for Christmas. Then I had happy feet. I even wore them to a drag bar last week instead of heels.

[Shikyo]

For me its the other way around. I can withstand heat and coldness way better than without the hormones. Though, I do feel differently towards coldness and heat than before. It's more comfortable now, than it was before. Also my hands do not seem to freeze as easily as before. Not only them, but the whole body.

[Kaitlyn Michele]

yep...used to feel warm all the time....now i'm much more sensitive to cold

for example, i hardly ever wore socks except for work. Now i always where them or i start to get cold.

After 11 months on HRT, I have to admit that I feel the cold a lot more, mostly hands and feet. It is not like I am freezing all the time but I often need an extra layer.

Absolutely! I am almost always freezing! Fortunately, my roomate and I share the same problem so we keep the house nice and toasty. :)

I can give you the flip side of that, being FtM and on testosterone...I have been on T for almost a year (will be a year in two weeks) and I am WARM all the time....Can't stand it if people have the heat blowing in the car, kick off blankets at night, and people are always telling Me that I am warm to the touch, that My hands, are warm, etc. So it is the hormones, definitely....In fact, when I went on the T, the first thing My ex noticed was that My hands were much warmer than they were prior to taking it...same with My feet...Just thought that might help in case some of you were wondering if it actually IS hormones....It is.

On a related note -- and I don't want to gross anyone out -- I also do not sweat nearly as much as I used to and when I do it does not have that terrible odor that guys have.

Can anyone else relate to this?

I can totally relate to this as well. My work is partially physical and I used to sweat everyday at least a little. After starting with the HRT I've been sweating less and less, now I do not really sweat at all - no smell. I can, for my bad luck, smell other guys sweat way stronger than before...something I'd gladly not be able to...

[Victoria Anne]

I certainly agree , I get cold so much easier and my feet are always cold now.

[natasha]

Lol!!! I though it was just me.

[Frances]

I am either cold or hot, but never the right temperature. At night, for exemple, I am constantly pulling up the covers and then pushing them down. I remember my ex doing that and thinking that she was way too sensitive to temperature variations, and I am now the same way.

[MichelleBolton]

Oh, yes. I am cold a lot of the time now...

My feet feel like ice. At home I seem to always be under a blanket now - but that's ok.

It all comes with the territory..

Hugs to all..
