I wonder if my inability to get warm no matter how much clothing and blankets I pile on me has to do with lack of insulation on the house or with my immune system monopolizing all my available energy?

(No fever. But the house heat is on and the thermostat thermometer claims it is 68F in here.)

huh.

I'm right there with you. I'm currently wearing a thermal long-sleeved top, a t-shirt, a flannel nightshirt, and my fleece cardigan (PJ pants on the bottom) and I'm still a bit cold. But then, I think I have a fever. I'm going to have some soup.

Go take a warm shower or bath and then change into clean clothes. Sometimes when you are ill your sweat leaves a residue on your clothes that makes it hard to stay warm. When this happens, cleaning yourself and your clothes usually provides a big improvement. When all else fails, get snuggles.

Not to alarm, but as a note to file in the back of your mind for later, when I was pregnant, I became shivering teeth chattering cold in the middle of summer, and no amount of blankets or sunlight helped. For reference sake only, those are known as petite siezures, and are a sign that the body is shocky. Ask me how I know, sometime :)

On the other hand, it is cold, and you've been sick, and who knows what meds may do to you. Hang in there :) -H...
