always freezing cold, could it be the medication

[someones_mum]

I have just recently been started on aurorix and gradually increased the dose from a very low one up to 600mg a day split in the morning and night. Ive always felt the cold but this is driving me insane.I am freezing non stop, I am rugged up and have 2 heaters on but i just cant get warm.

I bought an electric blanket a few nights ago and am sleeping with it on the low setting but im still cold,in fact i kept waking last night due to being so cold. i due had ME/ CFS but ive never had such an issue with being non stop freezing before..does anyone know could this be medication related?

Sounds like poor circulation- Cayenne pepper is a wonderful, cheap and easy way to find out if circulation is the issue.

Cayenne tea or tablets are the best form. Start at atleast 40,000 heat units per tablet, 3 a day. Side effects? You may have extra bowel movements, but all in all you will feel an increase in energy and more color to your skin.

The drug can cause a change in your body temp. However its usually a higher temp. I have not seen anything that talked about being cold. So I would have your dr check the thyroid as well as exploring other possibilities.

Get your thyroid checked/make sure your
TSH is b etween .3 and 3.0
Alot of docs dont know the nes ranges. Hypo thyroid will make you cold all the timeand make you extremly6 dep0ressed. Let me know what you find out.

what is this medication for if you don't mind my asking? it could be what's making you cold. all meds have side effects. can you look it up online and see what the side effects are? take care. remar
