Re: Cold Weather and CFIDS

Dear

Part time teaching can be rewarding, however don't get caught like me and

end up doing 48 hours a week face-to-face. LOL It was the end of my working

life.

On a more serious note, check your body temperature and response to thermal

stress, both hot and cold. If you have poor thermal regulation, a move to a

colder climate might not be so good. See the Cold Body Page and a million

other refs to CFS and thyroid malfunction.
