I Dont Feel the Cold Am I Normal?? Posted: 03-25-04 02:48am
I have have lived in a hot climate my
whole life and suffered... I practically
lived in swimming pools, slept on tiled
floors and night and wet my pyjamas just
to cool down. Now I have moved to
northern sweden - practically the arctic -
and I thought I would freeze!! But no,
even in temperatures like -7 or -8 im qute
happy to walk around in a t - shirt! And
I feel even warm then - meanwhile the
swedish walk around with 2 jumpers,
something on thier head and a jacket too!
Peple have often commented that I feel
warm. In sweden they say im not normal.
What could be causing this?? Ive been
like this my whole life... I really would
love to know. Thier must be some
explanation! Its like ive got built in
anti - freeze or something. Im even
getting the nickname "penguin"
help!!

I think you are doing just fine. Some
people cannot withstand high tempratures,
while others cant stand it low. It is
good for you that u have moved to a place
as cold as sweden, which will give you a
relief from the problems of hot climate.
Lucky!!
If atall you want to confirm, check your
normal body temperature and maybe bp. A
person with low blood pressure cannot
generate enough energy inside the body to
keep him warm, and tends to have a low
body temperature, thus requiring external
heat sources.
