Overheating: Life as a Eunuch

[Astromancer (imported)]

Only those who live the Eunuch life without Testosterone in their blood stream please respond to the poll question.

OOPS! Can I take my vote back? I don't belong in the list.

Sorry.

Everyone Is Different. And I am the odd ball.. I am still freezing to death. Others are in shorts and I am in sweat pants with a blanket covering me to keep warm besides. I am not a full fledged Eunuch yet, but I am at the 150 mg. level of Androcur and I still freeze. Other years I have sweat a real lot but this year, I am very cold all the time. My body is weird. I am different.

I sure wish trading places was possible. I can't take the heat so I'm outta the kitchen. I like the cool 70 degree weather and nothing more...

Take care,

You'd make a good Pacific Northwesterner. It's 11C this morn, and today's forecast is for a high of 22C (71.6F). Although it's supposed to be sunny the entire day, you often have to like it soggy as well. And for me, the real benefit compared to your neck of the woods is that it seldom goes below freezing in the winter. I nurse my palm and banana trees through the winter.

As an original West Coaster, I love the Pacific Northwest. I can take the moist weather of PNW. While living in So. Cal for over 43 years before migrating elsewhere, the cool moist ocean air did cause sinus issues but I'm a strong man and can take it!...

One of the reasons I live in the frozen north is the dry air 6 months out of the year. The other 6 months are worth the battle with sinus. When I lived in So.Cal, life was a battle everyday with sinus. You could live for years on what I paid in o-t-c meds.

Its been warm here in Saint Paul and by warm I mean 80's. Today the high was 82, and the last couple of weeks the weather has just killed me. I even run the air conditioner at night to keep cool. I set the temp at 72 and sleep like the baby I am

Not all Eunuchs suffer this condition let alone non-Eunuchs. My body temp regulator is all messed up and not sure what I should do for relief. As time goes by we will understand more on this anomaly and keep you updated.

Take care,

This past weekend I spent three wonderful days in Wisconsin with temps no higher than 65 and loved every minute. Several of the fine folks at camp were complaining of the cool temps and I was just fine.

Today it was in the mid to high 70's and it seemed rather warm to me. Looks like I need to find a place with a constant 65 degree range day and night. The heat is driving me crazy and its not hot. I'm looking forward to the day this heat issues goes away for good...

The only places I know that would be satisfactory for you would be highland tropical areas. Daily highs in Costa Rica hover around 22C. I was seconded for 6 months to UNEP in Nairobi almost 20 years ago. Daily highs were within a degree of 27C and lows were 13C - and sunny 365 days a year.

Some years ago my wife and I spent a weekend on Grand Bahama Island in February, courtesy of her employer's sales contest. We left BWI at 20F & enjoyed highs in the middle 70's and and lows in the lower 60's on GBI. One of our party asked a local cab driver whether they ever had winter in GBI & he replied, "Mon, this IS winter!"

Today its 84 degrees with 56% humidity and it feels lke its 87. Worked the flower garden, the vegetable pots and hung a new basket in front of the house. Being outside with this humidity sure makes me drip all too fast. My shirt was soaking in about 5 minutes. The body temp was way too high again and I had to take a cool shower to adjust. Not sure why my body temp gauge is all messed up.

Although I know you don't do hormones, either male or female, I'm not too sure it has anything to do with being ballless. My intact partner has some problems with temperature regulation. In his case, it's attributed entirely to low thyroid output. Have you had this checked? It's a simple blood test, the same as testosterone levels. Of course, 84 and 86 F are truly warm, and some of us sweat more than others in the heat. I've always considered myself lucky to have low sweat levels and high tolerance for both low and high temperatures most of the time.
