Hi, all. I have myofascial pain and some symptoms of fibro, and for the last year and a half, I've been having a really bad problem with temperature regulation and intolerance to heat and cold. I live in Chicago and it is extremely painful for me to be outside for even a few seconds. I start hyperventating, shivering violently, and it just feels painful. But as soon as I go to a heated room or car, I have to - within a minute of being freezing - take off all extra layers. I'll ask other people around if they are hot and they give me strange looks and say they feel fine. And I'll be sweating profusely.
Does this ever happen to you? I had two different blood tests for my thyroid, and the result was normal. Wondering if it's a common symptom of fibro to have this extreme intolerance to a temperature that's anything more or less than a perfect 72 degrees. Or if it could be a side effect from the methadone I started taking a year and a half ago.
Please reply yes or no and any ideas for what is happening.

Broken thermastadt is the truth. Have to peel off layers and I live in San Diego, such great weather. But cold in the morn and night. Hot in the afternoons. Got to keep challenging the body and am walking more each day. Still so weak from two months of bronchitis.
