i have a question regarding body
temperature and I didn't know exactly
where to put it so I just decided to put
it in general q/a. Hope that's the
right place.
Anyways, the problem is that I am always
cold. I don't feel cold myself, but I
mean cold externally. When someone
shakes my hand they often comment on how
cold my hand is. I feel room
temperature myself but to others I am
giving off no body heat at all.
I am pretty healthy, I exercise at least
weekly, I eat pretty good (ex. Fast
food at most once a week), I am average
weight for my age (about 3 pounds above
being underweight though). I am in
good shape physically, athletic build, and
no known blood/heart problems with me or
anyone in my family.
I am quite small and don't have a lot of
body fat so I was thinking that would be
the obvious reason but many are the the
same size as me and don't get people
telling them their hands are cold.
So i'm at a loss, I mean I feel perfectly
fine temperature wise but to others I feel
really cold and I just can't find anything
about the issue that helps. Hopefully
someone here has some advice for me.
Thanks,
kevin29
ps: for some reason when I post it changes
some letters that should be capitalized to
smaller-case, not sure why

Dear kevin,
actually my friend had the same problem
like you. According to her this problem
related with the hormone but I am not sure
wheather she has take the hormone pill.
The best thing to do is to find more
information about "body temperature" and
how its related with the hormone. What
are the factors that effect the body
temperature? ...All that you can get from
internet or from books. Do understand
about body temperature then you can think
or do something to cure it.
On top of that you can try to get consult
from doctor.
All the best.

I wouldn't say I'm ALWAYS cold, but I do
notice that I am cold alot.
Please keep us updated to you situation,
because I'm curious to see what it is,
maybe I need to be tested for it as well.

I have the same problem and have most my
life.
The otherday I got chatting to a homeless
fellow and he shook my hand before he
left. He just looked at me very concerned,
and told me I should eat more... he then
appologised thinking that may have sounded
rude, but claimed he only made the comment
because my hands felt like ice, even
though the weather was mild.
I also get numb fingers when the weather
is cold. The tip of one of my fingers will
start to turn white, to my annoyance. That
has always worried me slightly.
I would love to know why it is. I feel
some comfort just in the fact that my dad
has the same problem and always has, as my
mother jokes about it alot. We are both
very healthy, naturally thin people. So I
should doubt its a big problem, probly
just something you gotta live with!
But I hope you get some peace of mind and
