Struggling with cold weather
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi ladies,
Anyone else been struggling with the freezing temps in the UK at the moment?
It’s making me feel really unwell. I know it’s unusually cold but I’ve never struggled with cold temps before. I’ve been tested for thyroid which came back normal. So could this be another wonderful feature of peri/meno?
Be interested to hear if any of you ladies have been experiencing this.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts. Keep well and keep warm!

Hiya..
Yes, I too struggle with cold weather. Especially these recent plummeting temps. Never Used to.
I now get a general unwell feeling if I'm out in it and can take me a while to feel 'normal' again.
I always try to wear a woolly hat and wrap up really well.
I was out in it the other morning just half an hour and didn't quite feel right when I got home.
My guess is it probably is peri related and we're more sensitive to extremities than before.
Wonderful, isn't it?!
I'm 42 and been in perimenopause for a couple of years. I noticed changes in my late 30's. Didn't really know what it was until last year.
Hope this helps and would love to here your story and symptoms

Yes I think our declining hormones definitely have a effect on our body temperature.
I’ve never been so cold in my life as I do at the moment .
Just keep warm and have lots of layers on .
Take care
Linda

I have always been sensitive to cold and I still am. But these so cold weather/snow didn't seem to have effected me that much. Perhaps I am cold anyway. I even felt energised to wrap up and go for a walk, shopping in the snow. The cold weather is is leaving the UK soon ladies. We might soon be complaining too hot weather. Keep well.

Hi yes I'm from the UK and I find I'm extremely cold and it goes down my lungs too all this is because of our hormone imbalance..today I went out for a walk and because I don't sleep well it makes me 10 times worst is like you don't know what to do for yourself..I was wondering if thyroids stay normal all through this journey
