Weird, I was the opposite! I was the very definition of a freezing cold female (cold hands, warm heart, etc!) before I got ill, but ever since my counts came back after my transplant, I've been warm. My husband has commented on how much warmer I am to the touch than before - we joke that it's because I have "man's blood" now, but I really think its just improved circulation.

When my hair was out, I found it really helpful to just have a few little close-fitting caps made from stretchy material to wear around home and to sleep in (if you know anyone who sews, I posted a very easy tutorial on my site for these caps!). I found that just keeping a draft off my head kept me warmer!
