Why am I always cold?

Wow..explains everything.I am recently a new Topamax user and am always cold as well. And being a Finnish American we pride ourselves on loving the cold! So what is up with my being cold sitting in front of a roaring fire with a hat and socks and sweats on in a blanket? And...I am drinking hot tea and just took a hot shower!!!! I am usually someone who is always hot too. Menopause from a hysterectomy at age 26 and I am only 37. So I start taking this medication and now my temp has swung the other way. I also have low blood pressure and low body temperature..always have. Some docs tell me the normal "average" body temp is not 98.6 others say it is closer to that. I am usually at 97.1 or lower for temp. Weird goings on...maybe people living with epilepsy have a tie to temperatures and blood pressure as well without the medication? Stacey:)

I KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO FEEL THE COLDNESS IN EVERY LITTLE THING.  DON,T TALK ABOUT BARE FEET AND BARE HANDS AND THAT CAN BE AFTER TAKING SOCKS, SHOES AND GARDEN GLOVES.  IT DOESN'T GET TO COLD DOWN HERE ANY MORE I LIVE IN LOUISIANA. I NEED NOT SAY WHAT TOWN. I WILL BUT I JUST WONDER WHO COULD OR WHO WHO WOULD TRY TO FIND A LITTLE TOWN OF LABADIEVILLE, LOUISIANA,70372,USA.  ITS IN BETWEEN A SMALL TOWN CALLED NAPOLEONVILLE AND A LARGER TOWN CALLED THIBODAUX.  THEY ARE LINED ALONG THE BAYOU GOING TOWARDS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER GOINING OUT TO THE GULF.  ITS ALL WAY DOWN HERE.  THERE ARE A LOT OF HAUNTED PLACES HERE.  SOME I'VVE BEEN AND STAYED AND SEEN SOME I'VE JUST HEARD.  BUT THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE HAUNTED. (NOT MY HOUSE- BUT MOST OF THESE GROUNDS ALONG THE BAYOUS AND RIVERS.  DON'T TALK ABOUT THESE HUGE MANSIONS.  WHERE I WENT TO JUNIOR HIGH THERE WAS A CHURCH, LIKE A USED THE TERM WAS.  THE CHURCH WAS SO OLD AND NO ONECOULD BELIEVE HOW IT WITH STOLD THE CIVIL WAR AND WAS USED AS MASH STASTION AND A JAIL.  NOW NOT A BLOCK AWAY STAYS COURT HOUSE WE ARE STILL USING THAT SAME COURT HOUSE TODAY.  THEY HAD TO DO A LITTLE PAINTING AND WIRE FIXING BUT IT LOOKS LIKE ONE YOU SEE ON TV. TALL CEILINGS, HUHGE HANGING FANS YOU PRAY DON'T FALL.  THE SEATS ARE ONE PER LINE AND THEY ARE THE STAINED WOOD.  THE DOORS YOU HAVE TO USE WITH MAKE THE LOUDEST SOUND. THEN WHEN ITS YOUR TURN TO GO UP TO TALK THE LITTLE DOORS MAKE NOISE.  I KNOW I'M TALKNG ALOT A BOUT THIS LITTLE TOWN OF NAPOLONVILLE AND ITS LITTLE COURT ROOM, BUT IT HAS MADE SO MUST TROUBLE IN MY LIFE.  BUT THINK WE'RE IN THE SWAN OF EVILNESS AND ITS WHO PLAYS RIGHT.  HE'S JUST THROWING THE BALL AROUND B/C HE CAN'T BEAT ME AND HE NEEDS SOMETHING.  BUT FOR THE COLD I KNOW THE FEELING.

You could try do more movement to get the blood flowing to your extremities. Gardening is a great way of having some exercise and the roses are just a pleasure to attend to. This way you will move your arms, legs and fingers more and improve circulation. Even more, it will get your mid off the cold sensation that you have.
