Physical pain is a part of it for me. With a (removed) thyroid, and not being able to regulate it with levothyroxine for some reason, the cold hits hard for me.
One of the effects of my condition is cold intolerance. Some of the others is depression/anxiety, muscle aches, and extreme fatigue.
So my general distain for winter, plus the physical issues, and mental depression makes for a rough time for me.
And before anyone says "move", if I could, I would, but as many of you know, my wife won't leave here for ANY reason, so I'm stuck unless I leave her.
