I have since I got into the perimenopause become even more sensitive to temperature. It’s not just Spring and Summer anymore oh no! It’s all around the year!
If I have a room temperature under +20°C indoors I can catch a cold 🤬🤬but if it’s over +22°C indoors I melt away 🥵.
Last November (2022) I catch a cold because it was below +19°C indoors where I was living and the land lady didn’t tell me it could be so freezing cold indoors during the winter months. Here is the issue that it’s hard to get a eaven temperature in the whole apartment… I have just figured out that, if I have around +21°C in the hallway /corridor it get a bit “warmer” in my sewing room (2nd bedroom) 😊 which is good cause I have chosen to not have any heat on there or in my bedroom (master bedroom). But if I want some heat on in my bathroom I can’t have much on in the hallway…
Earlier this week it felt like walking into a wall of heat when I got home after work. So I tryed to put the heat down, then I catch a cold… it’s excectly a month ago I had a cold 🤬🤬.
I don’t like to complain but this is nuts! And I think it’s the perimenopause. We – wonan – all have different symptoms in this period. And it’s a myth that you can’t hit perimenopause before 45 y.o.! You can! I did and my doctors agree with me.
Here I am, with a cold but mostly fever 1,5° above my normal body temperature, which is the same as 39° C / 102,2° F, if you have 37° C as your normal body temperature.
(The average body temperature is between 36,8 – 37,2°Celsius / 98,6 °F.)
If you as me have lower body temperature then most average people, it’s both easier to catch a cold and feeling you boiling, have hot flashes, night sweats and foggy brain 🥵🥵 when it’s all around the year.
Annoying to have fever again just because of the temperature indoors is hard find a balace on!
