However, I am severely anemic, to the point of blood transfusions and many hospital/doctor visits. I do eat meat and my diet is extremely high in iron-full foods like fresh spinach, but for some reason, my body doesn't absorb it. I take medication for it that makes my blood count go up a bit, but on days where I am extremely freezing and exhausted, I know my blood count is low. This might sound crazy, but maybe you are anemic? I really suggest you look into it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8695894805573710824.post-44492021893175872112011-03-17T13:38:25.908-07:002011-03-17T13:38:25.908-07:00Hahahaha! Oh, girl, I'm sorry to laugh at your...Hahahaha! Oh, girl, I'm sorry to laugh at your misfortune, but I completely understand. Your post made me laugh out loud because I have the same problem. I think it's comical how cold I am, all of the time, rain or shine. I've always gotten the vibe that girls tend to feel colder while guys tend to feel warmer. Why is this? Is it all in our heads?<br /><br />On a more sympathetic note, I'm sorry! It's so unsatisfying to be engaged in a potentially fun activity, like an outdoor concert, dinner date, or even shopping at the grocery store, only for your chilliness to freeze away the fun moment. <br /><br />Here's the way I combat this problem on a daily basis: secret clothing. I never, ever wear just jeans anymore. Layer one: warm, thin tights. Sometimes I do two of these layers, if it's really cold. Then, I wear thick socks that reach my knee. Then I wear the jeans. This makes everything better! I also have a similar strategy for my torso. <br /><br />You can do it! Conquer the chills-I hope you can find your own solution!Alexandrahttp://littlenixnoox.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
