I have to keep the house cold all the time

I’ve got an autoimmune disease and the heat makes it way worse, but I think a lot of people find that heat makes their aches much better. However, heat makes my aches plus much more painful; this is aggravating. I figured this out the hard way, however for this reason I don’t have heating pads even in my own house. If I am experiencing a flare-up, then I will reach for a freezer pack. The frigid cold is unpleasant however at least it helps me to feel better. I also have pain if the air around me is too hot; Summers are the worst time of year for me. I stay in my condo as much as I can plus I keep my air conditioning blasting 24/7 throughout the summer. I love to keep my condo around 66 degrees all of the time. I do think this is pretty cold! Who wouldn’t? However, I also believe that it is worth it in my case. I would rather be frigid cold than feel like I’m in pain all of the time. That is why my air conditioning is consistently on. That is also why nobody ever wants to visit me in my house. They are simply too cold to stay there. I do provide blankets plus overcoats however nobody ever stays in my condo for more than a few minutes. And then on the other hand, I have difficulty going to see anyone else for similar reasons. Their houses are just too warm for me and without the air conditioning on full blast I start to get achy. That is no fun for me. Still, I do make social calls every now and then when I can. But then I go back to my condo and I chill out in my nice cold, air conditioned house.
