I don’t know about most people with fibro but I have cold flashes on occasion. Not often, but when they do happen I can’t seem to get warm. And no, it’s not just that I live in the cold, frigid north, but I really do feel the cold more than those around me. For instance, tonight, all-of-a-sudden, a cold front moved in and around my body. My feet were the first body part to notice the creeping cold. Then my legs and then the rest of me joined in.
I’m sitting on the couch feeling the cold air all around me. I have two afghans on my legs with a pillow on top of them, a third afghan around my shoulders and I even changed my t-shirt to a thicker knit top. And I’m still cold. My nose is cold too. I don’t know how long this will last but I’d at least like to come to room temperature. Maybe I’ll thaw out during the night as I sleep.
One odd thing is that the rest of my family is just fine. They think I’m the one that’s nuts. I’m about ready to break out the 3 king-sized heating pads.
Think spring. Think spring.
