Re: No tolerance for cold.

Unusual sensitivity to both heat and cold are indeed PD related. The body's
"internal thermostat" is affected. Peter is very cold-intpolerant, and also
can;'t stand heat as he used to--sweats and chills for no apparent reason
are common for him and others.

Hope this helps---
