I would get a complete physical. Your primary care physician should be able to narrow down the testing, but it is a very specific symptom to chase.

I hope you find the perfect solution. It sounds miserable 😕

Eat cheeseburgers, get fat.

No thanks, I'm not a jerk.

I just do it in the shower. If it's only a short trim, I just rinse it down the drain. The shower drain is much larger and designed to handle hair going down it. If it's a lot of hair, I just scoop what I can up with my hands and flush it down the toilet.

Well you're not supposed to pack them in that tightly, it's just to allow you to close your backpack or something.

You do eat them along the way, or maybe there isn't an option to purchase them at the destination..

I'm not a medical professional but I am speaking from years of experience with cold suffering and my trial and error to end it. I even cured my own Reynauds syndrome through elimination of bad actors (Reynauds is an overreaction to cold restricting blood flow to the core body/vital organs and leaving your toes and fingers numb, yellow and useless.

My advice is based on what you consume daily, as this affects your body massively. Cold feeling is the start, your sensitivity could be a sign of long-term problems you can help solve now.

Firstly, if you smoke stop straight away. Nicotine limits blood flow to the extremities and over time damages nerve cells starting at the tips of your limbs, meaning blood flow will be reduced and you'll feel colder no only when smoking but also after years of smoking. This changes rapidly when you quit and gets better over years too. I used to be a smoker.

Secondly, sugar. Sugar has the same effect as nicotine on the nervous system overtime, I'm talking your high fructose garbage foods and sweets. Basically anything sweetened unnaturally that isn't whole fruits and berries (i.e. eaten with natural fiber). It's a common sign of pre-diabetes to have poor circulation in your limbs, in the worst cases of obesity/diabetes you'll lose those limbs, which is also what happens to life-long smokers.

Thirdly caffeine. Caffeine affects bloodflow too in a different way but much more immediately for the half life of the amount consumed. I used to drink a coffee (most powerful) and literally feel my body starting to get cold, then I'd shiver at my desk all day on a sunny May afternoon. The less you drink the better this affect gets just like the other two.

Lastly, cold exposure. Research ice baths, open water swimming, or ice bathing for hands if you want to start small, hell just start ending your daily showers on cold for a minute that'll begin the process. Whim Hof and other breathing techniques, as well as pre and post-exposure work outs or food are a must, this last bit is harder to do but will go a great way to recalibrating your bodies overreaction to the cold and seeing off any remaining problems. I now take daily ice baths and and typically feel the warmest in the room at work/home/out.

All of the above is basically my life story of the last five years (32 now), not only to feel warmer but also to combat the negative effects of pre-diabetes, obesity, brain health decline, emotional mood swings, mental health depression that I built up in my early 20s making poor choices. Try each one at a time and feel how your body reacts, it all stats will self awareness.

EDIT: weight is a huge factor. Fat people run hot (unless they have the symptoms above), slim people tend to feel chill. I'm slim so I can't spend as long in an ice bath or cold pool as a fatter person, but that's natural. Fat is a natural insulator. So if you're skinny keep this in mind.

Yeah get them for not giving you a straight number. Nice revenge for their evasive behavior. May they burn in hell./s

I walk around the house in a thick robe on top my clothes

You're that passive aggressive and lazy that you can't just make up a decent time for everyone? God forbid anyone ask you to come up with a time for a meeting..

You don't have a lot of hair do you? 😂😂😂

A necktube like a Buff will allow for headset use and keep warmth in.

A heating pad directly on your lower back (kidneys) can help your core to warm up.

Others have suggested some tests and checks. I'll recommend seeing an acupuncturist. Whether or not you believe in traditional Chinese medicine is irrelevant. An acupuncturist can adjust your chi to the point of affecting your daily life..... in a good way.

socks are also good to use on the Swiffer sweeper mop if you're out of the Swiffer pads.

I just duct taped a dust buster to my mach3, works like a charm.

I know it's not popular, but what about exercise? What do you do to stimulate blood flow throughout your body? Do you break up sitting periods with short walks, or other calisthenics? My office is only 62 F, but short walks / pushups / pullups throughout the day keep me warm and focused. (I also wear leg warmers tbh). Just ideas, don't shoot the (exercise) messenger.

write your best friend's number .

My shower is clogged. Now what?

Yeah there’s a term for it too, ignorance. A lot of people in this world are ignorant

As someone with both low iron levels AND hypothyroidism - hard agree! I am a lizard person like OP. My fiancé generates so much damn heat when he sleeps, and I still have to have an insulated sleeping bag on top of my side of the blanket to stay warm, and even then my toes are still freezing. I just cannot make my own body heat 🤷‍♀️
