It is too cold/hot to work. What can I do?
Raynauds, Menopause, and the battle for the thermostat.
Menopause & Raynaud’s
Temperature sensitivity is a key symptom for conditions like Raynaud’s (painful cold) and Menopause (hot flushes).
You can’t change the weather, but…
You can’t usually demand the whole office changes temperature (as others will complain). You can ask for personal micro-climate adjustments:
- Personal Fan (USB desk fan).
- Desal Heater: Small under-desk heater.
- Desk Location: Sitting near/away from the window or A/C vent.
- Dress Code Ease: Allowed to wear fingerless gloves or sleeveless tops.
