Lately, I have to avoid sudden exposures to frigid temps, such as in briefly opening a door or window and letting in a blast of arctic air. What happens is that I will start to shiver, then my entire body will go into a painful spasm.
I first noticed this about five years ago, when we were leaving a Christmas party and walking towards the car in an icy parking lot. I started to shiver, then felt as if every muscle in my body locked into a spasm. I was sobbing in pain as we rushed home, filled the bath tub and submerged me in warm water. I have had it happen a few more times, and now make sure to really bundle up if I have to venture out in very cold temperatures.
Has anyone else experienced this weird response to cold? If so, what do you think is going on?
