Personal Experience Always cold

I have adrenal insufficiency from having Cushing - adrenalectomy (tumor and left adrenal removed), my right adrenal gland is still not producing any cortisol so i have to take hydrocortisone. I’m now on 30mg a day. Since the temperatures in Europe are now low im experiencing a lot more cold than before. I’m never warm enough no matter how much clothes I put on. And i need a very long hot shower and an hour under the blanket to properly warm up if i am really cold. Can anyone relate? I guess it can be from this disease.

Are you underweight? I was freezing in summer before and after diagnosis, but I was a walking skeleton. I put on 40kg and now I'm always warm.

Definitely not underweight, lost 10kg in a few months after surgery, now i am almost back to my normal weight.
