Has anyone moved or considered moving to a warmer climate in order to prevent feeling incredibly cold much of the time and to raise body temp? And also to get more sun exposure.
I have hypothyroid and Raynauds syndrome. I am pretty much always extremely cold, right down to the bone. I am taking meds and lifestyle measures to keep my hormones in check but I don't know if I'll ever be able to get to the point of being nice and toasty warm all or even most of the time. I don't know if the meds will work or if the RAy Peat diet suggestions will help...
has anyone had the experience of going from always cold/low body temp to being warm/98.6F+ even in cold climates?
Moving to a warmer climate would cause stress due to being in an unfamiliar environment, being away from family and longtime friends, also finding a new job etc., but it would decrease stress caused by being cold, not getting sunlight, not getting fresh ripe fruit, etc. It's quite a toss up. I do have a sister who lives in Hawaii so I could probably make it happen. Although, at the present time I'm too sick to even function at a normal level; I've had to move in with my parents so that they could help me out through this.
I thought this forum might be a good place to ask this question because most people I know personally have no idea how miserable it is to be relentlessly cold all the time, so maybe someone on this forum can relate. Warm clothes help of course but they don't keep my hands and face warm, even warm socks can't keep my toes from a Raynauds attack.
