GLP-1 chills

Probably menopausal women having hot flashes, like someone mentioned up thread. That's gotta be a special kind of hell.

For me, I have always hated the feeling of sweating (severe sensory issue) and I've always broken out into a sweat in any mild heat, anything over 70-72. Now, being "cold" just makes me feel like I'm finally experiencing temperature like normal people--I live in Miami and going outside is finally tolerable.

We need AC year-round here, so I'm just bundled up inside. I prefer it to always being hot and sweaty, which made me incredibly irritable.

🤬 I'm 34, sir! Good day!

😭😬😂

Florida is the worst. It's so humid your skin is tacky no matter how chilly it is. How can you be sure it's even really sweat? 🙃 I can barely stand visiting with my sensory issues, props to you for managing to LIVE THERE!
 
@keangkong the freezing constantly is killing me. It’s mid-30’s and this morning I was wearing 2 pairs of sweatpants and a hoody. Laying under a blanket on the couch. That is the worst part for me. My wife swears I’m going to catch hypothermia. When I get out to my car I just sit there for like 2 minutes unable to drive or move at all.

Edit: I was just informed you can’t “catch” hypothermia. lol. I never once claimed to be smart.

For me, it's definitely worth freezing when it's not cold in order to be thin. I looked in the mirror today and realized I don't look fat at all. I weighed myself yesterday and my BMI is 25.8. I wouldn't have thought this possible before. Maybe I'm just nuts but I'm willing to put up with the bad things from weight loss drugs.

You were able to figure out that you’re way too cold.
 
I'm perimenopausal too, but hot flashes haven't gotten me. (yet?) I'm assuming it's being mostly cold and then hot flashes come and go in between. Worst of both worlds.

In my 20's, the times when I had way too many liquor drinks and would get sick throwing up, I would have these random hot flashes that started around my neck and I could feel the heat radiating from my torso, head and face. That's what I imagine hot flashes are like, minus the vomiting.

As I sit here under two comforters and two fleece blankets, I'm questioning my life choices. Is being skinny worth being freezing even while sweating? I can't decide right now, I'm too busy shivering. I'm debating sleeping on the couch so I can add in a heated blanket without killing my eskimo of a partner.

My wife and I sleep swedish style with our own sheets and blankets. She keeps the bedroom at a balmy 64 degrees (even in the TX summer heat) and takes the blanket on and off throughout the night. I sleep with flannel PJ plus three blankets. You could get an electric blanket that is double-bed size. Then you can be toasty without impacting your partner.

What I’m saying is that I haven’t had a single hot flash or night sweat since starting Tirz. The hot is gone, in its entirety. I’ve swung to the other side, I’m always, always cold. I barely break a sweat when running indoors on the treadmill.

That's how we sleep too. We share a giant fleece (10ftx10ft, so there's no blanket hogging) and a comforter that he usually throws on top of the pile that's already on me. A heated blanket would just be too much, he already complains I'm a radiator when I sleep.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's my hormones being all fucked up, I've got a lot of wonky shit going on there. Sema definitely made it worse though.

Oh no, then I'm not that far gone into the freeze effect. I still get hot and if I were to run, I would definitely sweat. Ick.

Back in October, when the temp could still be warm, I appreciated the cold. But now, with the already cold weather, it’s unpleasant. I’m hoping in a few months and into the summer that I’m back to appreciating the chills… if only for my A/C bill. Ha.

I started tirz in early August. I had no complaints about chills during those first few months, but the temperatures were far higher than they are today.
 
If you're too cold, you could always take DNP!

(do no do this this is an awful idea please this is a bad joke under no circumstances should anyone be taking DNP)

How long does it take for the GLP-1 chills to pass? Or am I stuck with getting cold super easy as long as I keep these drugs. I’ve been on either reta or tirz for 6 months and I still get cold quite easily.

I have been the "overly" warm-blooded type my entire life. Then, about 3 months ago (about 4 months into my blossoming friendship with Tirz), I suddenly became the one that is 🥶 FREEZING all the damn time. For some reason, my legs are the worst. Literally, icy cold to the touch. I now sleep in fleece-lined leggings and socks which I have never been able to do my entire life. If I don't, I will lay there miserable for hours and just shiver until I get up and put clothes and socks on.

I read that the chills are caused more by a sudden drop in body weight and a significant reduction in caloric intake; more so than the Tirz/GLP-1's causing the chills.
For women (especially those with PCOS like myself), it's also caused by hormonal imbalance ... which is the entire reason my doctor prescribed Mounjaro to me. Other than hormone therapy to treat SOME of the PCOS symptoms, the other "treatment" (so to speak) is a sudden (and significant) reduction of body weight. Sudden weight loss of a significant amount can put the endocrine system in a bit of shock with the hope of it forcing to "reset" so to speak. My "lady doctor" described it as being very similar to how Electrocompulsive Therapy (ECT) to the brain works to treat psychological disorders.
Overall, I guess there is something to it (at least in my case) as I have lost close to 60 pounds since October. I am chilly🥶 ALL THE TIME and I no longer experience a fraction of the PCOS symptoms I had learned to live with my whole life prior to this journey.

Me: rushing to Google to look up "DNP" just to appease my curiosity as I dont think I have ever heard of it. 🤣😂

Results ... TERRIFYING!!! I just had to read "isolated from the venom of the Green Mamba snake" 🐍 ... I'M OUT! That's some scary shizz right there!!!!
 
Eastern green mamba?

Or Western green mamba?

I don't plan on taking DNP (dendroaspis natriuretic peptide), however, I did, I'd probably avoid the snake and just buy the supplement.

Yes. Exactly. Without the vomiting. And the sweating without the heat. That is uncomfortable too. Get some estrogen. Women who take it have a 1% above baseline incidence of cancer but a 60% reduction in all causes mortality when it's begun within so many (10?5?) Years of menopause onset.
