Freezing cold!!!!

Laying here with an electric heating pad and a hot water bottle. I always figured I could handle the cold growing up with lovely Canadian winters not so much anymore!!! Wondering if the cold intolerance is caused by the weather or these pesky brain lesions! Anyone else deal with a deep bone chill?
