Sometime ice cream will make feel a little cold but nothing like your experience.  Dont attribute it to old age. There may be some other cause. An over active thyroid can cause symptoms like that. You might get a full physical when your able to get back to a western Hospital.

 I hope you are on the path to recovery.   Gerry

it was because I had some sort of bug that gave me the fever. The sudden coldness reacted against it.  So in winter months not taking any chances. ;)

I can live without cold drinks for a couple of months without contradicting a very caring wife.  Spring is just round the corner. :)

As for getting a check in western hospital there is no point in going back to UK for that. Although it is free there it can take three months or more for an initial hospital appointment. There has been so many people arrived there from the European Union in recent years that the system cannot cope.

They have a 'here today gone tomorrow transient' Prime minister who has already declared he will not fight another election so what does he care! :o

Wow! It is the “Year of the Dog”. Shit, I was born in the year of the dog. I don't know is this is good luck or bad.

Anyway, I was just tooling around the site & decided to add this posting about the Chinese New Year for 2018, which of course begins on 16 February.

My wife goes nuts over this day. Lots of relatives to visit Fushun... preparation weeks in advance. Kind of weird, this is also the “Spring Festival”. A few years back, it was around -15f (-26c) there. So much for budding flowers in N.E. China.

Hopefully Willy has a safe & pleasant holiday this year.
