Or, should I ask instead, those of you with hypothyroid, if you had the symptom of "feeling cold", did it feel like the chills you may get sometimes from a cold/flu?
My hypothyroid chills are like someone stuck a popsicle in the middle of my chest - the cold starts there and just radiates out, and I have to pile on blankets to get warm. It passes after a while, but it's usually just the cold feeling, not an illness feeling on top of it.
I work in a hospital and I can tell you the viruses going around this year are rough - LOTS of people are having a tough time shaking the colds/flu/bugs once they take hold. I don't think it's an IP specific thing, just the strains of bugs we're dealing with this year.
