Mine has finally abated, but I went through the same thing for many months (all seasons) & it was a toss w/ docs as to whether it was MS or Menopause (I didn\'t have severe pain or nausea).

I still get it following meals high in protein, but it\'s definitely predictable now.

I know this sounds odd, but rather than peel clothes on & off, it seemed easier & more helpful to try to regulate w/ or w/out socks on, depending on whichever misery it was at the moment.

Best wishes to ya.

I know with summer coming this is going to be an issue with me soon. Heat simply turns me into a "noodle". Afraid of the electric bill this year :) ARG!I have resorted to Ambein for the lack of sleep thing. I hate it! makes me lethargic. helps me sleep but at what price? life is becoming a catch 22.
Attitude is Everything

"noodle" is a good discription of what the heat does to me as well. Thank god for A/C!

Ambien? Yikes, that stuff is wicked. I will never take it again, gave me like visions. I guess it runs in the family. My dad had it when he was in the hospital and it took them three days to get it out of him, before which he called the nurses bitches and called me in the middle of the night to tell me "they were trying to poison him." And that was the tip or the iceberg. But back to heat. I hate it. It does not seem to raise my body temp, just my boiling point. For years I would not turn on the oven all summer, the thought of more heat made me cry. Noodle is perfect. I just got a cooling vest in the mail, so we will see how that works this year. I had one before, but...another long story. Anyway, I agree totally with Janice. Socks are very key to this. ALso materials...and nothing tight. Always keep your hair up. You know, the things we know but sometimes forget. Always have cold water nearby. And a sweater.

Oh, one more thing. A/C is a lifesaver, but whenever possible, JMO, fans and open windows are better. this way if you go cold, it is easy to regulate the room to a warmer temp quicker. Like I said, just what works for me.

Thank you for your replies. I been post-menopause for 8 years due to surgery. I told GYN and they didn\'t think it was menopause. I went through this in the winter time where the colder the weather (like 19 degrees) the hotter I got. Then the warmer the colder I got. I guess I have to play with the A/C settings. I have them set high because of this weird that at one degree lower.. I am too cold. It doesn\'t seem like my body is understanding the signals sent to it.

I going to try the generic for Benadryl to help me get drowsy and fall asleep. Hope it works.

my body temp. has left the building...my fever flucuates--btween a low grade fever--99 to 100

and 96-98

i freeze all the time--ac-set on 76--wear sweats and under a cover--all the time--when i drink something cold --most of the time..chills--brrr

My apartment is cooler, so no problems in the summer...just walk at night with my fat dog so neither of us overheat.Now , winter is another story...you can catch me in fleece and snowboots...wear them as bedroom slippers even in the springtime. Asked my son why people were staring at me. He answered" because it was July and I had boots like Uggs on" I can stay cooler but cold makes me stiffen up like Frakenstein..probably catch me in them again this summer. I also blamed it on menopause..both at same time. Just do things at cooler times...

Winter is my favorite season. Previous summers have left me debilitated due to heat. This is the first summer where the on/off switch between hot and cold seems to have a cycle. I just figured something new... something I have not heard of but now get to experience in a fun and mysterious way. Life is never boring.
