Do you feel cold? First thing I noticed was the change in circulation.

No, actually, I was honestly shocked at how warm my feet and legs stayed, especially with how strange it feels to have them shaved after a lifetime of them being hairy.

I wonder if its because I already experienced a change in circulation in 2023 when I started taking dasatinib for my chronic myeloid leukemia and I stopped being warm all the time and started being cold all the time after that.

the cml is in remission I just am still in treatment until they're sure it's gone. i talked about this a lot more on my prior lemmy account, before I was, well, really me.
