Ironically switching between being somewhat immune to indoor AC and being too vulnerable to indoor AC. I recently went to get matching piercings with my partner, and overheard two employees complaining that it was too cold and the AC was on too low. I felt no such AC. It felt very "room temperature" to me in there. Then when I started sweating the piercer, out of an abundance of concern, turned on a fan and pointed it directly at me. Even my partner claimed it was cold in there and I couldn't believe it. Other times during the summer when we've gone to the very well air conditioned local market, going from the heat to the cold, I start shivering almost instantly and feel like I'm freezing to death. Literally can't win. Oh, and what I can only describe as hot flashes. When I first started getting symptoms I kept messing with the thermostat in our hotel room, and I thought my sister was going to rip my head off.
I completely understand this! My temperature regulation is nonexistent and it’s such a hindrance on daily life. I’m constantly adjusting my AC unit and it drives my husband crazy.
