Cold cold cold

pezI hate being a cold-based person.
[cold base, in Chinese medicine, are people who are very afraid of cold and feel cold easily, those who really don't sweat much unless it really is hot (and I never, ever sweat anywhere near my head!). Hot-based are the opposite. You see them sweating in the forehead all the damn time. It's hard to explain Chinese medicine and I don't know nearly enough to understand, but it must be something to do with the glands, lymphatic and blood circulation systems?]
I think I have really bad circulation - I don't know anyone else who would get a cold arm after holding onto the handrail things above your head in the Tube for one stop, or anyone who'd get a cold hand if his forearm arm doesn't fall 90 degrees or greater to rest on the desk to use the mouse. In fact, if it's just right-angled or if my forearm is raised slightly, in 20 minutes my hand will be cold as ice. It's scary.
At the moment I'm the only one who finds the office freezing, my hands and feet are cold and I'm going waaaaah, I hate being cold-based.
