Whinge of whingeyness
Earlier this morning, it was 25.2C at my desk, and I was freezing, shivering, and my nails were starting to go blue. Seriously, sack o' meat, what's up with that?
It's now 25.8C, and I'm still cold, but no longer going blue.
In other news, last night we had a bridge club subcommittee meeting at my parent's house. While we were there, I checked my weight on their scales. Now, I know they really need to be recalibrated, but the heaviest weight I could get on them was 46kg. Which is on the edge of "We're going to watch you and hospitalise you at the least excuse" weight. Again, sack o' meat, why do you keep falling in mass?
She-Boss spent some time worrying at me earlier this week, because she could see I'd been losing weight (3-4 kg this year, which is accurate according to my scales at home (8.5 stone to just under 8 stone), but I was 52/53 on the parental scales at Christmas). The subcutaneous fat appears to be melting away, and I don't know how to fix it. Everyone knows what to do if you want to lose weight, but wtf do you do when you can't keep it on, your appetite has dropped to a normal adult level and eating more than you want precipitates bouts of nausea? I can't eat less healthily than I do - I'm at approximately my RDI unless we go to someone else's place for dinner, and eating food in different proportions makes me feel worse. I haven't craved sugary things in quite a while. Yesterday I was thinking about buying a pack of chips to eat and then I checked the notion out with the sack o' meat which said "Don't want it - you've had your RDI of sodium already today". The only things I really crave are fresh fruit and veges, which, unless you're eating stupidly large amounts or smothering them in butter (ew!) don't really help with gaining weight. I've started leaving food on my plate at restaurants, for heavens sake! And not wanting seconds!
Make that now 26.6 and I'm overheating. It feels so good.

Sounds like a B12 defiecency to me. I'm no doctor, but on the rare occassions that I've had uncontrollable weight loss for no apparent reason, with the 'if I eat I feel sick, and if I don't I don't feel much better', its always been a chronically low B12 level. About that much weight, 5-6kg in about as many weeks, is what can happen to me if I leave it unchecked.
If they check you for aneamia, B12 and folate aren't usually included and that's how they missed it in me as you can have perfectly normal iron levels but be B12 deficient. The doctor has to order a seperate test for these, and you have to _ask_ for it.
The fluctuating internal temp thing could also indicate a thyroid issue, but could also just be symptomatic of your weight loss. Have your B12 levels checked anyway.
*bit worried and been there, done that*

The fluctuating internal temp thing, I'm pretty sure it's just normal me, but worse. When I was smaller, I would run around in thick jumpers in summer, and t-shirt only in winter. Possibly has something to do with the intermittent (random interval) high temperature I've run at various times this year, for which there is, apparently, no cause.
