Yes. This is because the blood from Pernicious Anemia is much thinner, and so you can feel the cold much more.

Briefly describe the additional manifestation of pernicious anemia?
When treated, Pernicous Anemia does not really manifest over time. On the other hand, if left untreated, it can create nerve damage, effect mental health, and even kill. I once met a woman who was in such an advanced, untreated stage of PA that her spinal column was deteriorating.
What medical conditions cause a person to stay cold all the time?
low blood pressure Anemia, poor circulation.
What can make your husband so tired all the time?
anemia, poor diet, lack of sleep, and definitively depression
What type of anemia is a deficiency of hemoglobin due to lack of iron in the body?
In my case it is "chronic anaemia" where "chronic" means "lasting for a long time". It can also be called "pernicious anaemia". The problem occurs when the body cannot make the B12 vitamin from the food which has been digested, so the alternative is to have a B12 injection every 3 months. One effect of lack of B12 is that you become very tired much more easily.
What is the major differences between Acute Anemia and Chronic Anemia?
Chronic Anemia is something that is either long-lasting or develops slowly over time, while Acute Anemia occurs quickly. Symptoms for Chronic Anemia may be barely noticeable at first and gradually worsen, while Acute Anemia symptoms can be more noticeable and distressing due to their sudden appearance.
How can you take much time when you make sex?

Can bulimia make you cold all the time?
Bulimia itself will not make you cold. A result of bulimia, however, is the loss of body fat. Without enough fat on the body, a person is prone to becoming cold much mroe easily.
Pernicious anemia?
DefinitionPernicious anemia is a decrease in red blood cells that occurs when the body cannot properly absorb vitamin B12 from the gastrointestinal tract. Vitamin B12 is necessary for the proper development of red blood cells.Pernicious anemia is a type of megaloblastic anemia.See also: AnemiaAlternative NamesMacrocytic achylic anemia; Congenital pernicious anemia; Juvenile pernicious anemia; Vitamin B12 deficiency (malabsorption)Causes, incidence, and risk factorsThe body needs vitamin B12 to make red blood cells. To provide vitamin B12 to your blood cells, you need to eat enough foods containing vitamin B12, such as meat, poultry, shellfish, eggs, and dairy products.To absorb vitamin B12, your body uses a special protein called intrinsic factor, which is released by cells in the stomach. The combination of vitamin B12 bound to intrinsic factor is absorbed in the last part of the small intestine.When the stomach does not make enough intrinsic factor, the intestine cannot properly absorb vitamin B12.Very rarely, infants and children are born without the ability to produce enough intrinsic factor, or the ability to absorb the combination of intrinsic factor and vitamin B12 in the small intestine. Pernicious anemia that occurs at birth (congenital) is inherited. You need the defective gene from each parent to get it.Common causes of pernicious anemia include:Weakened stomach lining (atrophic gastritis)The body's immune system attacking the cells that make intrinsic factor (autoimmunity against gastric parietal cells) or intrinsic factor itselfThe disease begins slowly and may take decades to fully establish. Although the congenital form occurs in children, pernicious anemia usually does not appear before age 30 in adults. The average age at diagnosis is 60.Risk factors include:Family history of the diseaseHistory of autoimmune endocrine disorders, including: Addison's diseaseChronic thyroiditisGraves diseaseHypoparathyroidismHypopituitarismMyasthenia gravisSecondary amenorrheaType 1 diabetesTesticular dysfunctionVitiligoScandinavian or Northern European descentSee also: Anemia - B12 deficiency for other causes of low vitamin B12 levels.SymptomsPeople with mild anemia may have no symptoms or very mild symptoms. More typical symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency anemia include:Diarrhea or constipationFatigue, lack of energy, or light-headedness when standing up or with exertionLoss of appetitePale skinProblems concentratingShortness of breath, mostly during exerciseSwollen, red tongue or bleeding gumsNerve damage caused by vitamin B12 deficiency that has been present for a longer time may cause: Confusion or change in mental status (dementia) in severe or advanced casesDepressionLoss of balanceNumbness and tingling of hands and feetSigns and testsTests that may used to diagnose or monitor pernicious anemia include:Bone marrow examination (only needed if diagnosis is unclear)Complete blood count (CBC)Measurement of serum holotranscobalamin IIReticulocyte countSchilling testSerum LDHSerum methylmalonic acid (MMA) levelSerum vitamin B12 levelPernicious anemia may also affect the results of the following tests:BilirubinCholesterol testGastrinLeukocyte alkaline phosphatasePeripheral smearTIBCVitamin B12 deficiency affects the appearance of cells that form on the outer surface of the body and line inner passageways (epithelial cells). An untreated woman may have a false positive Pap smear.TreatmentMonthly vitamin B12 injections are prescribed to correct the vitamin B12 deficiency. This therapy treats the anemia and may correct the neurological complications if taken early enough. In people with a severe deficiency, the injections are given more often at first.Some doctors recommend that elderly patients with gastric atrophy take vitamin B12 supplements by mouth in addition to monthly injections.There is also a preparation of vitamin B12 that may be given through the nose. For some people, taking vitamin B12 tablets by mouth in a very high dose can be an effective treatment.A well-balanced diet is essential to provide other elements for healthy blood cell development, such as folic acid, iron, and vitamin C.Expectations (prognosis)The outcome is usually excellent with treatment.Any damage to nerves may be permanent, especially if treatment is not started within 6 months of when symptoms began.ComplicationsPeople with pernicious anemia may have gastric polyps, and they are at increased risk for gastric cancer and gastric carcinoid tumors.Brain and nervous system (neurological) problems may continue if treatment is delayed.Calling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you have symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency.PreventionThere is no known way to prevent this condition. However, with early detection and treatment of vitamin B12 deficiency, complications can be minimized.ReferencesAntony AC. Megaloblastic anemias. In: Hoffman R, Benz EJ, Shattil SS, et al., eds.

Is it possible to get hypothermia in the shower?
Yes, but you'd have to be in there a bloody long time and it would have to be absolutely freezing. 10-20 minutes of freezing cold water won't give you hypothermia, you have to make your body cold enough to make your enzymes denature, which I think happens when they drop below 36ish degrees.
