Is anyone else freeeeeezing?!

Ok, I know its Winter so yes its cold but, has anyone else noticed how much more your body is to the temperature?! I've always been a bit of a thick girl & I'm Italian so I'm naturally hot blooded :) so the Winter has never really been a big issue for me. I mean don't get me wrong I get cold but the past couple days I've really been "feeling" the cold weather! Ok, ok, so I live in Cali & no we don't have snow, infact I think its about 50 degrees out right now but that is COLD for us!! Its like the only time I've felt warm lately is bcuz of those awesome little hot flashes I get at night (not really awesome just trying to laugh a lil) :) Other than that I've been freeeeezing!! Just wondering if anyone else is having the same experience? Hope everyone is well today! I'll say it again just cuz it feels great.. Day 10!!!
Wooooo Hoooooo!!!

Its not really a chill or anything to do with the wd's, its like being cold cuz its actually cold! The Norco's always made me hot... Summertime was the worst! Its like the pills kept my body temp high all the time so I never felt cold. Well without the pills I def know its Winter time!! Brrrrr!! I like it! :)
Hope everyone gets a good nights rest!! xoxoxo

I too am hot blooded, even have a fan in my house in winter.  But now that I am down to almost nothing I am also freezing.  Very weird for me!

Are you getting enough Protein and Carbs. Try eating a hot meal. Hot spicy even better. Cayanne pepper!

  I've been cranking up the heat in the woodburner and driving my wife nuts!  Usually I'm the hot one and she is cold.  I swear we are never on the same page!  Oh well.

Congrats on your 10 days!!

Hi Girl,

Congrats on your 10 days!  Way to go.  Yes, being cold is a very normal symptom from opiate withdrawal.  I detoxed in June and was sitting with blankets on in the house and a heater in my office at work for probably a month following the initial withdrawal.  I don't know why this happens, but it can even get kind of comical.  Don't worry about it, you will soon get back to normal, it will just go away on it's own as quickly as it came on.  Use blankets or sit in front of a nice fire.  You should start to feel better in a couple of weeks.  Take Care
