Ah well, there goes my theory. I really thought I was on to something there. I
am so tired of being hot I just thought it HAD to be the Rosacea. I can't say I
was ever cold before the Rosacea. I was what I considered normal. I was hot
when you'd expect people to be hot and cold when appropriate. Now forget it.
It is Sept. in New England and was maybe in the seventies today and I still have
my air-conditioners blasting at ten p.m..........I freeze out my whole family.
I can't open the windows because I have a ten year old that is very allergic
during spring and fall. But once the first frost hits then the windows get
opened and so they all freeze that way. But I feel like it is easier to put on
layers and get warm than to find a way to get cool when the heat is radiating
from inside you. I was so hoping that my hotness would get under control once
the Rosacea was under control. Which Remedy do you think would help my hotness?
I am familiar with homeopathic remedies. What
was the one that helped you with the cold? Well, thanks for answering my
little experimental question.

Take care,
Elena

Hi Elena,

I used to be freezing cold all of my life. I hated it when the outside (or
inside) temperature dropped below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. In December 1977 I
moved to Los Angeles. How I managed the cold growing up in Philadelphia, PA and
then living in Boston, MA for 5 years I just don't know. I was always wearing
multiple layers of clothing, even in summer! In June 2003 I started a homepathic
treatment (classical remedy) for the coldness. In homeopathics like "cures"
like. I was given the coldest remedy in the repertoire. Brrrrrr! Took 8 months
of treatment but it cleared the coldness. Now I can comfortably wear short
sleeve shirts and shorts. And when it is colder, I don't suffer. Long sleeve
shirts do just fine. I don't need multiple layers.

With heading into menopause, I am a little warmer over all although there are
days when my butt and lower half of my body can be cold. In Chinese medicine
that's a condition called "cold below with heat above." Often comes with the
menopause territory, but not in every case. I notice that some of my female
patients run generally hotter, while others run generally colder, none of
rosacea. I don't know that Rosacea would be a deciding factor for temperature.
Too many other variables involved. Me personally ... I was running colder when I
experienced the bulk of my rosacea symptoms.

From your description it sounds to me that you have a hotter constitution than
most, and you're the opposite of what I used to be. Wish I had known, I would
have gladly swapped you some heat for my cold! :)

> Hi Rachael. ... Here's a question I would like to ask you Rachael and all
others: do you find that with the Rosacea you are "hotter" than most people in
general? To me when the temperature is 70 that is HOT to me. I don't get cold
enough to put on a coat until it is below 40 degrees. I have not always been
this way but began to notice this in my 20's after I got Rosacea. I did not
connect it with the Rosacea at that time. Just figured I was a stay at home mom
and was always cleaning, cooking and standing over hot water cleaning dishes,
and chasing kids.
> But really, my air-conditioner is NEVER off from spring until late into
October (I live in New England) and all winter, unless it is below 30 degrees, I
have windows open and the heat is only on high enough to keep the pipes from
freezing. I usually stick with short sleeved t-shirts all winter. It is a
curious thing and my thyroid has been tested more than once (it runs in my
family), but I really do think it is the Rosacea. Especially since I learned
that it seems to be a vascular disease. Just curious if others suffering from
this find that they run hotter than most "regular" people.
