Another new and exciting symptom!

My feet were on fire today.

Actually, I was roasting overall--not in a feverish way, just in a "my metabolism cranked up and man am I producing a lot of heat" kind of way. Apparently this, too, is normal. But wow. Kicked off all the sheets last night, spent all day in a lightweight short sleeve shirt. And my feet. Burning. I took my shoes off for a bit. Then I was switching back and forth between my work shoes and my commuting sneakers, letting one cool down and swapping. When I got home, I headed straight for the bathtub to stick them in cold water. Chuckro just kinda looked on in bemusement. Tromped around all night in flipflops with my pants rolled up.

I normally have crap circulation. My feet usually range from cool to shockingly frigid. Having little mini-furnaces at the ends of my legs is really weird.

So what you're saying is that if I want stop freezing my ass off just living because of my crap circulation-slash-low-thyroid, I should get pregnant? God, that would almost be tempting, given how frequently I've been shivering in the library studying of late.

Well, it comes along with frequent bouts of dizziness, so it's not going to help with all circulation and thyroid issues. Although your hair does stop falling out and gets way thicker.
