I've been experiencing a constant cold. Even if I'm covered in a blanket with a sweatshirt and sweatpants on I still get chills. Do I run on cold blood ?

I'm like that too, Lily. I have low blood pressure, which can be part of it, especially if you get cold hands and feet. I've also been tested a number of times for hypothyroidism, which can apparently make you feel cold all the time, but those tests have always come back normal.

I got a small, portable space heater that's been a lifesaver. Also, wool socks and fingerless gloves help. And lots of sweaters.

I alternate between both. I'm cold, cover up then I get hot. I'm hard to please. :-)

Oh, that sounds hard, especially now that winter is here. I'd ask your doctor, could be your thyroid:

Have you had your thyroid checked recently? One of my main symptoms of under active thyroid was freezing 24/7. It was miserable.

I'm like that too. All of my tests have always come back fine. I think it may just be a combination of slightly slower metabolism and lower blood pressure. My boyfriend is naturally super warm all the time! I'm trying to get him to move to florida with me... that would be ideal!!
