To the bone

One of my (many) side effects from chemotherapy is an inability to deal with extreme temperatures. When I get cold by accident I am chilled to the bone and it takes a long time for me to warm up – wrapped in blankets. It is not just a matter of feeling cold, but feeling cold deep down. Anxiety is another one. Not just a matter of feeling a bit worried about something, but of having anxiety deep down, deep in my bones. Takes a long time to get rid of – wrapped in blankets, trying to relax.
