Q: i have a serious problem (or maybe it's just serious to me). my house can be really warm, and i'll be FREEZING. like i'll feel like i'm outside in the cold, and i shiver & shake, and my teeth chatter. every night i go to bed with 6 really large blankets & some shorts with a big shirt & a hoodie, and i'm still shaking. i did that the other day but i had pajama pants, a big shirt, socks & a hoodie on and i was still cold. is there something wrong with me for being freezing all the time? i'm like this during the summer too. my skin feels warm when you touch it, but i feel colder than ever, and sometimes i have goosebumps and my hair stands on end. i told my mom and she looked at me funny, but i think there might be something wrong with me. help?
You could possibly be anemic. I was cold, tired, shaky, and pale. I was diagnosed with anemia. See a doctor and get some iron supplements, it could help.


---EDIT---
Yup. My mom is anemic too, I guess it's in the genetics sort of.

thanks. my mom has anemia, so could that be why?
