Hi.
Just wondered if anyone else has experience of feeling cold constantly .
Treatment finished 6weeks ago and I struggle to get a heat in myself
Only 6 weeks post treatment and winter........ yes you may well be feeling the cold.
My treatment (totally different from you) finished (mid October (2015) and I never felt warm all the way through that winter.
I was dressed with a big jumper, scarf and e en a thermal hat with the heating up high and my wife was complaining about the heat in short sleeves......... the body does take time to regulate itself following treatments.
I did check my temperature regularly but it was ok.
Hi.
I was always guilty of feeling the cold but even more so now .
Same my husband is totally the opposite.
Ive noticed that I also get quite restless jumpy inside . I'm not sleeping great so put it down to that but starting to become annoying now
My temperature is always ok
I noticed that I was wrapping up far to much so had to be careful not to ‘actually’ raise my real body temperature and not notice any infections creeping up on me - I was caught out once and ended up in hospital on DB&B for a week with Pneumonia - never saw it coming.
Try and wrap up and get out in the fresh air for some walks as the body is just trying to finds its way again.
I had chemo (cisplatin and vinorelbine) just over 5 years ago and have felt cold at all times other then summer. I never felt the cold before this and was always wanting to turn down the heating - now I'm always wanting to turn it up. A lasting effect I guess, but better than the alternative!
