Why am I always cold?

Tue, 12/20/2005 - 20:28
I am on Trileptal and Topomax. And i'm always freezing. Even when i'm warm to the touch, i'm shivering inside. I know the meds thin out the blood, but this is crazy. Is the hormonal seizures and the screwed up hormones every single month? Is it the medications? Wow. The house is warm and the blankets are on me. Help. I'm frozen. -Kelly

Wow I seriousl thought I was the only one going through the extreme feelings of cold.  I got to the place I could not stand no type of cold at all. I cant even stand Aircondiner after spending 4 years being cold I packed my stuff and moved to arizona the hottest place I could think of cause I could not take it any more and I'm still cold! I sleep under 12 blankets and my friends think I'm crazy! They like did you not notice its 90 outside I'm like did you not notice the air is on inside?
