Anything extreme seems to be my issue. I have found however it is easier for me to keep myself warm when it is a cold environment then to keep myself cool in a warm environment.

I rolled out of church in my chair the first cold day of fall, and when I hit the cold air, my right arm drew up so that I could not reach my joystick. I had to lean over and use my forearm to drive. That was the first time I had that reaction to cold.

I have a terrible time with the cold. I simply cannot get warm. I have trouble with extreme heat and humidity, If its 90 degrees or above i feel like a wet rag. But if I can cool off in air conditioning or swimming, I'm fine. ON the other hand, when its cold, I NEVER get warm. I'll take the warm any day.

I feel worse in cold weather. I hate when fall and winter come, I start feeling depressed and just don't feel right. The heat makes my fingers numb and a little stiff but other than that I like spring and summer.

You can keep the cold!!!! Cannot tolerate if its below 75 degrees. Being in Florida, the heat can be unbearable but it simply makes me a little tired whereas the cold makes me ache. Keep warm and happy!!!!!

I am completely intolerant to the cold, my body wants the heat then I feel better. This winter even drafts or the draftiness of our overhead fan would cause extreme weakness, stiffness and spasms. Even trying to exercise seems to bother me too.

for me its both, cold and heat. We just recently had a 'heat wave' where it went into the 70s and I thought I was going to die, I was so exhausted and tired and overall drained. I had forgotten how the heat affects me. I have bad memory to blame. By the time the summer is done, I hope for winter and then I'll hurt throughout the winter time with stiff legs, and painful muscles. A neverending battle it seems.

I am affected in extreme temps either way. ;-(
