*Serves hot chocolate and bisquits*

:fluffle:

Woops, stole the OP.

Free chocolate for everyone in this thread! Come one, come all! :D

Just a little while ago I suddenly felt really cold. I grabbed a blanket and asked my brother to get me the thermometer, and it said 95.4 degrees Fahrenheit (about 35.2 degrees Celsius, I think). Now that I've had a blanket on for a while I've been getting warmer and I'm up to 97.7 degrees Fahrenheit (36.5 degrees Celsius).

So why, in the middle of summer in Florida, did I suddenly get so cold? My Dad does have the air conditioning set for 73 degrees Fahrenheit (about 22.8 degrees Celsius?), but would that be enough to make my body temperature drop that much?

Have you ever felt really cold all of a sudden for no reason that you could think of at the moment, or anything like that? Am I sick or something, or am I just worrying too much?

If you're overly skinny, it's easier to be cold. But it might have been a draft or something.

Thank you. :)

I'm kind of skinny, so I do tend to get colder more easily, but I don't know if I should get that cold.

You're turning into an ice woman.

Global Warming... :p ;)

Could be you're sick with the flu...I remember alternating between fiery hot and icy cold during such weather when I had the flu.

Do you have other symptoms of the flu, like a headache, muscle aches, and the like? (Also, drink plenty of water. You should be doing that anyway given the heat, but do so even more now.)

don't worry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_temperature#Low_body_temperature_increases_lifespan) ;)

I bet it's because you need to get a blog, or else start posting in the spam forum.

Sorry to go scientific, but the surface temperature of your skin being warm makes the surrounding environment seem colder, and your skin being colder makes it seem warmer. Assuming she starts from the center of her body, you would be correct, but if she starts from the outside, she is becoming the human torch. (yeah, I over-analyze these things)

I agree with Kyronea's flu idea, but if you are getting hungry at about the same time, that happens to me sometimes just randomly. When I eat, it stops. If you are really worried, go see a doctor.

No, I don't really have any other symptoms of the flu, but I have been having random nosebleeds occasionally. I had one two nights ago. I don't know whether that's related at all or not.

Or, you know, you could read the whole post and see that she included something for discussion by everyone rather than being a dickweed.

Chandy: I suggest you go to the doctor about this, then, because that doesn't sound normal at all.

Did somebody mention free chocolate? :D

I'm cold right now. You might have hypothermia or something like that.

When I first saw the title of the thread I though you were saying you were mean.

Chandy: I suggest you go to the doctor about this, then, because that doesn't sound normal at all.

I might. It's happened before, I think. At the least I'll bring it up the next time I have to go in for a check-up.

How would I have gotten hypothermia though?

73 degrees is cold… not hypothermia cold, but still cold.

Thats a classic flu symptom

I don't know... have you, per chance, spent the last few days sleeping in the snow?

:D That one made me laugh.

But that's what the air conditioner is set to, not my body temperature. Could the difference between the temperature outside and inside be affecting me, maybe? I don't know. It's actually only like 85 degrees outside today, which is cooler than it was last week, I think.

I meant that 73 degrees is cold for an air conditioner.
I agree with whoever suggested the flu.

I recommend a regimen of brisk exercise to get the blood flowing, a significant fluid intake, the ingestion of carbohydrate-rich foods, and a healthy dose of prayer.

I've never been in nor seen snow... so no.

:eek:

Your thyroid couldn't gone out. If you don't see a doctor if it IS a thyroid, you could die.

Or it's the flu.

I have a few reasons I can think of.

1) God is punishing you for being asexual (not likely, and meant as a joke:p)
2) You are sick(probably it)
3)You are like this poster:

And your heart has turned to ice.

My brother and I are thinking of going to the gym today, but my temperature's a lot closer to normal now. It's up to about 97.4.

You pray in a gym? :confused:
:D

I know, but my Dad gets warm really easily, so he likes to keep it cold.

I thought people started to feel warm when they got hypothermia (hence them being found without their clothes on in some cases)

Meh then again i'm probably wrong

I think that when your body temperature drops below the outside temperature you start to feel really warm, even though your body is actually dangerously cold. Something like that, anyway.

Link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothermia)

In stage 1, body temperature drops by 1-2°C below normal temperature (1.8-3.6°F). Mild to strong shivering occurs. The victim is unable to perform complex tasks with the hands; the hands become numb. Blood vessels in the outer extremities contract, lessening heat loss to the outside air. Breathing becomes quick and shallow. Goose bumps form, raising body hair on end in an attempt to create an insulating layer of air around the body (limited use in humans due to lack of sufficient hair, but useful in other species). Often, a person will experience a warm sensation, as if they have recovered, but they are in fact heading into Stage 2.

20% to 50% of hypothermal deaths are associated with, or even caused by, a phenomenon known as paradoxical undressing. When this occurs, the hypothermic victim becomes seriously confused and starts discarding clothing they have been wearing

No, you're right. Warm and sleepy.

EDIT: And then cold.

I don't think so.

73 degrees is cold… not hypothermia cold, but still cold.

73 degrees is not cold. Fifty, maybe. Seventy is walking around without a jacket weather.

Remember, Kat, Chandy lives in Florida. To her, 73 is freezing cold, to us, it's the perfect temp.

in Celsius that is in the low 20s right?

For some reason, this thread is mine now :)


And she's talking about body temperature...

Back from the gym. :) And no, I didn't pray there. ;)

75 is... about where I start getting chilly. I used to be a lot worse; I used to start shivering at about 75.

You crazy Floridians. I've been out without a jacket in the 50s.

You get cold at those temperatures?

Crickey, I can't remember the last time it was that warm. And this is meant to be summer.

I can think of a way for you to warm up. Giggidy-giggidy-goo! ;)

It prob just means someone's walked on your grave, or Death is coming for you, or a Haitian has put a Voodoo curse on you.
minor things.
nothing to worry about.

I am always cold. My resting temp is 96.1....so when I get up to 99.0 I feel really bad....I hadn't ever been able to convince anyone though until I met hubby, his temp runs about 96 also....

You crazy Floridians. I've been out without a jacket in the 50s.
And I once ran through the snow with nothing but some shorts and a pair of flip flops, that doesn't mean I'd reccomend such disregard for temperature to anyone else.
Although it was fun, up to the point where I rolled down a hill and got snow in my crotch.

And Demented Hamsters is probably right about it being a freak nothing.

I sometimes get to feeling very cold, to the point of numb hands, if I do absolutely zero exercise for a whole day. And that's at quite normal room temperature.

Circulation. Did going to the gym help ?

When I first saw the title of the thread I though you were saying you were mean.

Heh, I thought that too.
"But Gravlen is steady as rock? Has some terrible tragedy befallen him?" I thought as I clicked.

It's Rabies. I'm sorry, we're going to have to put you down.

I don't think so. But recently when I've been getting cold instead of my extremities being cold, they're fine and the cold is in my chest. I've been taking that as a bad sign, it's also a little ominous.

Pft... that's nothing. I've gone out bare foot in boxers in the snow before. Now THAT is fun.

And true. And not so fun.

Raynauds?

No, I don't really have any other symptoms of the flu, but I have been having random nosebleeds occasionally. I had one two nights ago. I don't know whether that's related at all or not.

More nosebleeds than is usual for you? Whether it's related to your chills or not - get thee to a doctor.

Raynauds (http://www.niams.nih.gov/hi/topics/raynaud/ar125fs.htm)?
Added linky.

Have you beed drinking alcohol? Alcohol shifts heat from your center to your extremitys, so that could be it.

Pft... that's nothing. I've gone out bare foot in boxers in the snow before. Now THAT is fun.

Yes, but IIRC you're Alaskan. People don't expect rational behaviour from your sort.

Heh, I thought that too.

I've only been on vacation, and then stolen this thread. That's all I've been up to.

Mmmm... Chocolate :fluffle:

That's quasi-suicidal or something.

Just remember: angels get explosive diarrhea without their halos.

Poor circulation? :confused:

Unless I'm producing it internally... no.

Hey, I'm not Alaskan. That's an insult. I'm Minnesotan.

However, that would be downright rational compared to some of the old farts who like to go and cut holes in the ice at the lakes in the middle of winter just to jump in. Now THAT is irrational.


hat's quasi-suicidal or something.

No, it's lazy. I don't have time to put on shoes and clothes when I needed to go out and get the mail(Which my mail box was on a state highway at the time-Real funny looks from people driving by seeing a hairy nearly naked barefoot person getting the mail in the middle of winter-hehe).

Poor circulation? :confused:

I'm still going with Rabies.

Gravlen, you went to one of the most humid portions of the US and are returning to your normal humidity.

When I visited Alabama two years ago in August (very hot and sticky), I was a bit chilly the week following. So it's somewhat normal, I guess.

EDIT: Oh, wait... This is Chandy's OP, not Gravlens. Hm. Jolt FTW again.

Uh... I dunno. Have some Tylenol, bundle up, and drink hot chocolate or something.
