I spent a fair bit of time researching why it might be that I was cold all the time. I will wear a sweat shirt when it's around 74F in the office. I am perfectly happy in the "heat wave" conditions people are complaining about. I found lots of information that points to thyroid problems, low iron, too few calories etc. More disturbing these were general replies in forums, yahoo answers, and other misc. places. Now the people at the gym find it quite common. Also, places like fitness pal, livestrong, body builder forums, etc... all seem to have the same type of answers... but only by a few people. Generally the symptom is just about the same for anyone who drops a lot of weight really. Many of them had thyroid checked, and iron monitored, and are on good diets. So the paranoid "you have this wrong with you , get to the doctor" answer is just flat wrong. I have a good diet (when I'm not cutting) and no deficiencies. I am not going to have my thyroid checked, because that would just be retarted. (I don't have the rest of the symptoms anyway). Turns out you can just be cold all the time from not being fat.

Yep, talk to my fiancee, she's skinny, was never fat, and is always freezing. I've noticed around the office that most fat guys are almost always warm, while most skinny girls are almost always freezing. Fat is a great insulator, your body probably got used to regulating temperature while you were big and hasn't adjusted yet. I should point out that for a few years after my brain injury, I never really got cold, ever. For a couple years I didn't even own a winter coat. I drove a snow plow and shoveled walkways in a t-shirt. You know Northern IL weather, it gets cold. It wasn't my body weight, but something to do with my body's feedback to my brain or something.

Ditto in my office. The young healthy people walk around in sweaters (one has a blanket) all year. we all have space heaters at our desks. Office is between 68 - 73 depending on which section your in and who's messed with the thermostat last. doesn't help that the building is not efficient, so their is air being blown directly down on us all day. I've always attributed it to pulse/blood pressure. Those who are healthy have a lower resting heart rate and lower blood pressure. even when I was fat - I still got cold very easily (normal bp then, right now it's on the border between too low and normal).
I havent' checked my resting rate since I was 205 (or a lil heavier), and still getting into shape. I should check it again sometime. Mine was the lowest in the room at the time (bunch of family memebers) and it was 74 I believe. I bet it's lower now :D

I have seen many people, who feel cold in a situation were I was feeling hot. and they are constant about this, I think it is the tendency of their body, same as there are many people who always have low blood pressure and they are OK, while if you you/me have that much low blood pressure we will get fainted. so if you are not having any other problems except wearing sweater in summer. I don't think you should waste time on fixing it. mostly people who feel cold are having following 1. gastric problem 2. dehydrated 3. weakness or 4. medication side effects. so if you really want to fix the problem, 'you should see a doctor', I know this is what you get most of the time from internet forums, but even some doctors cant diagnose the issue without some tests, we are talking about 'by a forum post to people who are not doctors' here... :)

From some of the discussions we've had back and forth I just thought you were cold-hearted. :)

Whales => Blubber => Warm in deep cold ocean.... Hmmmmm :) Case and point[^]
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

after my brain injury,
That explains a lot. JK. Bad joke. I actually had a really good friend who did have brain surgery when he was younger and always used that as an excuse when he forget something. Pretty good excuse though.

I saw the joke icon and was sure this was going to be a bit about the brain injury. *someone do a whack about the brain injury

Sorry to disappoint you, but the picture may cause you a brain injury as well. I simply couldn't resist. :-\

I get punched in the head as a hobby, but I never had a brain injury

It wasn't really something I was trying to fix. I was more just seeing if it was something at all. If I were the only one , or part of a minor group, experiencing it then it would be off. More curiosity than anything.

Oh OK, The thing is programmers have tendency to Fix things when they see a Problem, that is why I used word 'Fix', otherwise all I was trying to tell you is that there are many people have this kind of issue, and if this is not bothering you too much, just ignore it. Because I believe that, you do not want to see a Doctor/Lawyer unless it is really important. :)

For some reason this branch off made me think of two scenes off ninja turtles. 1) When they were telling jokes in April's apartment. Everyone got all quiet and the turtle said "it was a joke" , and then all the sudden, even though everyone was stern and serious, they all start laughing because he said it was a joke 2) when doing back flips off the wall for punishment, they look over and Mikey is jumping and clapping to make it sound like he is doing the flips. Then there is a moment of "uh oh" when he notices them looking at him :D Not sure why you guys made me think of ninja turtles, but there you go.

My grandfather had a really low bp too, used to joke that the docs where worried when he went into surgeries. Saves me a bundle in heating/ac at home - I keep the house at 80 in the summer,and since I'm frugal (cheap) - 60 in the winter. :-D

Your undiagnosed brain injury. Also, you should probably stop using children's entertainment for your training videos, unless you are a black ninja, then it's a good lesson it what not to do.
