Yes, Paula..I experience this. Since CFIDS I find extreme temps..either hot or cold to be terribly uncomfortable.

If I have a choice, I go for the cold. I feel better in the cooler weather. The heat makes me dizzy and nauseous. Also, if you're cold, you can always add a sweater/coat...if you're too hot, there often is nothing you can do but get out of where you are, and that isn't always possible.

Yep, another CFIDS ailment to add to the list!!

Hugssssssssss, grab another sweater...try to go outside. The fresh air is good for you!!

I am always freezing...my toes and fingers mostley. I can not go out in the snow because it hurts. My daughter loves the snow so that sucks. I LOVE hot..las vegas it was 107 degrees and it didnt bother me at all. It was a nice dry heat..I live in Ohio..cold grey and yuck. My toes are cold right now I am sitting on them! I gotta go get my big black wool govt issue socks! LOL

I have both problems, too hot and too cold. The heat makes me literally ill, but there are days when I am freezing too for no reason. My kids will tell me it's not cold, but I can't seem to warm up. Must be CFS, just like everything else. Fun! :)

I've always had cold extremities and have noticed it a little worse since I've had CFS but it was bearable. Last winter the cold weather didn't have an effect. However, I had just gotten sick and as we know, this damn illness is unpredictable. Today was a little unbearable and it wasn't even that cold. I just hope it doesn't get worse when it starts snowing. What an excuse to visit down south :)

There are times in the winter when despite being in a tub full of warm water I CANNOT stop having goose bumps!!! But I still prefer the cold to humidity!!

I have become a big baby about what I wear outside. I happily don my down and uggs WAY before anyone else does around here. I"m already dreaming of purchasing some new flannel lounging pants for winter. COZY!!!

The good news is that, as a tea lover, this is PRIME season for me!

Yes I too experience this....I get over hot in summer and freezing cold easily....especially my hands and particularly my feet...always wearing socks in summer..not as bad as i used to be...funny sight shorts t-shirt and bed socks lol.... hugz

Me too. Both extremes are hard. I feel like I'm a lizard or something, sensitive to the environment! Do you have any infections or parasites that might be contributing to your coldness? I get chills if I stop my parasite remedy.

BTW ginger tea or cinnamon helps to warm the body.

I had symptoms of hypothyroidism -most notably extreme cold- for several years before any serious illness or my acute onset CFS. As my health deteriorated, I noticed my sensitivity to extreme temperatures either hot or cold. In particular, I have a hard time adjusting- for example, going from a cold winter's day into a heated building. Have you looked into hypothyroidism? It seems to coincide with CFS for many people.

At times I will have the strangest thing happen meaning it will be a hot day and I will get chills.

In the winter the cold weather makes my bones and muscles ache but I feel better in the cold. The heat I am very sensitive too for some reason. I get dizzy or light headed and sometimes nauseated.

I have a hard time dealing with temp extremes. I do adapt, but it takes time. I get used to the summer heat by early August, at least to the point that I can deal with it. June is a very tough month for me, it gets extremely hot where I live in June, and I have no air conditioning in my house.

I find that when it's cold, I get hypothermic without realizing it. My hands, arms, and legs get all clammy cold and I get very groggy. So do keep warm, folks. I think we are susceptible to hypothermia, even when it is not that cold.

Yeah, I've had this symptom alot. However, when I went on an elimination diet, my body temp started regulating better. It's taken years to reset, but it has happened. I avoid all the things I'm allergic to plus sugar and caffeine.

I still have some problems with heat and cold, but now that menopause is setting in I have a new reason for my body temp to be changing. What fun!!

I get cold sweats all of a sudden and freeze and shiver all day. I did it when it was 90 degrees out this past August.

It was 80 degrees in the house the other day and I was shivering, I had to get a blanket.

HYPOTHYROIDISM! One of the many possible underlying causes of CFS, and it causes you to be unable to handle the cold! Make sure you find a doctor who tests Free T3 & T4 (not just TSH!) and knows how to interpret the results. Good luck!
