I have my heating set at that BUT still ware warm clothing.
Feel warmer when the sun is shinning.
Feels like a long way off right now.

Re: Feeling cold all the time
Are you sitting inside all the time? Not good for you that. Get out every day for some fresh air and exercise, walk a neighbours dog if you don't have one. Or go to the pool or Health Suite. I spent a couple of hours this afternoon going between the Sauna, Steam Room, Jacuzzi and swimming lengths. Felt fine afterwards, it's double figures up here the now and not really cold for December..30-12-2018, 10:17 AM

Try to be as active as possible.

I am aware this is the case regarding our heads.
I drive my husband mad as he is generally a warm person.

Re: Feeling cold all the time
I feel your pain , only I’m the opposite, I can’t abide the heat at all so I do understand how delibetating it can be, being opposite of the “norm”I also echo all those that say speak to a doctor and get a good MOT
In the meantime keep those extremities warm. Thermal leggings or tights, vests, socks. Fingerless gloves to wear when sitting still reading/watching tv
A lap rug
Good sheepskin slippers - the boot variety are favored by mum who also feels the cold
Flannel sheets on the bed , wear socks in bed but loose flannel nighties or Jim jams
A hot water bottle or electric lap blanket can be a godsend
Hot drinks also help. Make a flask and use it during the day to take a sip or so out off
Foods like porridge, slow release energy, are very good for helping with the internal thermostat- remember the ready brek adverts from the 70’s?
Seriously though you do need to see your gp and explain carefully how cold you are and your activity levels

I bundle up though I probably take it to extremes. Last night for new year I went to a friends house I had on a vest top, cardigan, scarf, trousers, wooly tights underneath the trousers, socks on top of the tights as she has a new carpet and I thought I would need to take my Boots off.
Luckily I got to keep them on as I forgot any slippers.
Guess I am colder than your average person.
