Richard -- Is that why I felt warmer when I first moved to Vermont? Back in California I was riding my bike 400-600 miles per week. My resting pulse was 54. And my wife said I was always warm to the touch. Now the most exercise I get is a couple miles walking per day. My wife says I'm not as warm (physically, not emotionally!) as when we first married, and the cold seems, well -- cold!

Could it be that after eight years of relative inactivity my little mitochondria just aren't firing like they used to..?

You're exactly right Pete. When your body is burning fuel you will be warmer. Now you will also adapt to your climate as well but that is another story. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I went that route and the niacin dosage LONG before resorting to Zocor. Works for some, but not for others. I was in the latter group. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
