English translation:extreme cold sensitivity
Explanation:
"What could cause a person to suffer from extreme cold sensitivity? Like every time he goes outside his body practically goes numb, he shivers violently, etc. It's cold, but nobody else is affected that badly by it. He wears several layers of clothes and still cannot get warm, even after being inside for a long time."
