Anyone ever gone through or know someone who has something similar?

I go to the doctor when needed and have blood work done ect, as long as I can remember my blood work and everything has always been great. My normal temp is 96.2 it's always been that low and my doctor has never been concerned. Today I have been feeling super cold and have noticed my skin feels tingly and I get super sleepy like to the point that I can't keep my eyes open, it's not just happened today it happens every time I get really cold. I went through some depression and drug use when I was you get so I don't really remember if I had it then or not but I do remember always being cold, I would wear pants and long sleeves in the summer and sometimes like if I would swim all day i could never get warm I would wear a shirt and hoodie and pants and be shivering. I read online that a body temp of 95 is considered a medical emergency and can even cause death. I have sorta been thinking about it and have wondered if when I get cold I got into an early state of hypothermia and get sleepy so my body can reserve the heat I do have. Curious if anyone has gone through or know someone who has something similar. My doctor doesn't seem to care an if someone can relate and maybe tell me there story I can do more research and take it to my doctor and force him to do something about it but right now he just says it's ok that's just how you are.

Do you have a hypothyroid condition maybe?

One thing I learned a long time ago is that doctors are idiots and arrogantly think they know more and better than everyone else. I find if they never experienced a condition themselves then they can't possibly really know much. When a doctor tells you that something anomalous is "ok" then it is time to use a different approach or find a different doctor.

The internet is a great place to do some research on the topic. I would start there and type in your symptoms and see what things come up. You might learn quite a bit.

1. you need a NEW doc, probably a woman long in business - try one out, have your bloodwork sent to her for 2nd opinion (saves a stick)
2. if you are not sick, the doc will suggest some things... if not, seek advice @ health food stores, somethings that body burns into heat faster

I would find another doctor and get a second opinion. My natural body temp is 96.5 F and a 98.6 is a low grade fever for me but I'm not cold all the time or anything like you are explaining. A second opinion is always a good thing when it comes to your health.
