Wow I always wondered why I didn't sweat. Also Temp runs lower then normal and being in the heat sucks eggs literally. Thank-You for this share as I am not alone GOD BLESS

i usually am lower temp than others. but when my temp goes up even a little, i feel absolutely awful. i don't sweat all over, but just around my neck and legs. i pour ice all over myself in hot weather, use a cooling vest, and chug cold water.

sorry about that. i just try to use the ac and keep cool.

Hi

My thermometer is broken too!!!

I'm heat intolerant plus I freeze on ac due to thyroid . I use cooling vest, chew on ice and wear warm clothing for ac, which I'm mostly in.

It's difficult to plan anything, but I carry stuff for every possibility,,or at least I try.

My feet/toes have been numb and cold for years-like ice cold.Now somedays my nose is also ice cold.This happens when I am in 90 degree heat.This spring in May a very hot day,I was still working then-went thru drive thru to get lunch.Back at office got extemely ill and ended up in bk of ambulance.ER doc great dx me at that time hypothyroid w nodule.Told her all my other symptoms, a whole bunch from cognitive to weird body stuff and she sd I needed to see neuro.I can't stand to be out in heat long, at 1st thought it was menopause again, but I was done with that YEARS ago.My body temp has alwys run low

My internal thermostat is broken too ! I'm having hot flashes one minute and freezing cold the next. My feet and knees feel like blocksof ice. If I go out in the heat, I don't sweat due to a medication I take.. the MonSter just shows up. This stupid disease fries our entire system.

Thanks for sharing Guys it is nice to know I am not alone or crazy.
My Hubby also says my thermostat is broken.

When I was at home in the winter time I would ask my Hubby to open the window then close it and back again.

It seems like I do not ever feel normal I am either too hot or too cold.

Just another joy we get to experience.

I have this problem too. My normal body temp is lower than normal so if I register 98.3, I'm generally running a temp.

Still trying to learn to cope with this. One thing that I have noticed in the summer is I can get the Slush from Sonic (they will sell you the ice without the flavoring if you want) but most of the time I get the flavoring. I buy a large one when I have to be out in the heat and sip on it all day. Seems to help my body temp not get to that sick and nauseating feeling and the temp that makes me sick all over.

( I haven't been diagnosed with MS.. I have been diagnosed with CFS/Fibro)

I appreciate the post too Kayce. It certainly helps just to be able to talk about it and share with someone.

I too have a broken thermostat. When my temp is 98.3, I am running a low grade temp. A couple of yearsn ago my temp was over 100 and I could not get out of bed.

Hope this helps!

I never use to sweat at all. Now with MS I start to sweat when I get dress for the day. By the time I have my hair fix, make up on, and clothes on. I need another bath. lol. When I cook, I sweat. When I walk from my front door to my car, I sweat. I do not know if it is MS or side effects from one of my medicine. And when something is hot and I tough it, it is extremely hot. And the same thing for cold. When it is cold, it is extremely cold. My temperature gauge is way off.

I use to never sweat now I over do it....my body tep is low...if its more than 97...I am sick

my thermo isn't working and hasn't for a long time. outside in the evening, 85 degree, a blanket wrapped on me, fuzzy socks, long winter robe. Neighbors look at me like Im crazy....OH WAIT....I am...lol I don't feel the cold in the winter...weird. I can never remember sweating, even as a child working the farm, always got sick and passed out...interesting.

I never sweat....always thought that was prob. not a good thing as it is your bodies way of cooling itself...but now i sweat all the time..and feel uncomfortable with it...even my head sweats...around my neck is bad too.I really am having a hard time with summer this year. As far as being cold...I have for years been cold and I thought it was from the thyroid ( have hashi's) I use to think menopause would be nice because I thought it might normalize my temp something between the cold and hot ...

I am dealing with this now. For years my body temp dipped to 95.6 and no one could explain it or understand it. Then, I stopped sweating. then I started turning red in the face and blush in the body. I started night sweating, but not sweating during exercise or hot conditions. I would just turn red, become confused, and have to find alternate ways to keep cool. Cooling vest, cooling scarfs, wet hair before my walk, fans with a spritz on them...by the end of a normal walk on an average day I was blind as a bat from the heat causing my optic nerve to swell. My CRP (c reactive protein) was soaring! normal is 1 or 2 and if you are about 5 they start worrying about your heart of strokes. above 10 they think of things like MS and other inflammatory things. mine stayed at 15.

I have been working with a naturopath for the last 2 months and the fist thing she said was OMG! you are so hot hot hot! I said thank you! and she said NO, I mean you are not releasing your heat, you are simply cooking. You must feel miserable. I said I do! She put me on some anti inflammatory stuff and within a week I noticed the red color starting to back off. I noticed I was cooler. I noticed that I started sweating during my morning walk, and stopped sweating so much at night. I feel soooo much better!

To be fair, let me explain that I went to see a "medical detective" I want to know WHY I have MS,not just that I have it. What parts of my body are out of whack. You see her and do treatments for 90 days and then she releases you back to your neuro or other MD after finding out triggers like parasites, or bacteria that doesnt belong in your gut, or exposure to chemicals like DDT. She washes you out and removes those triggers. I am half way thru my treatments with her and feeling like my old self again.

I would see folks at events and they would say "wow, you look like you are roasting." Folks knew that if the temp was over 70 dont invite me out for long and over 80 meant that I would turn you down. I was miserable and it showed.

There are several good products for inflammation like astaxanthan and zyflammed and others. You can also change your diet so that you are naturally getting good anti oxidants and avoiding things that cause inflammation like beef, pork, and other proteins.
