I have no idea why..but I am with you on this. I used to be a cold natured person before MS..now I am hot all of the time and even have night sweats that I thought I wouldn't have to deal with until after I went through menapause.

yeah, i used to be a cold person too, and now my fiance closes windows because HE;S cold, and i'm still on fire.

i used to love reading in the bath too, but i've had to put an end to that.

I'm not sure how much faith you have in alternative therapies, but the way my acupuncturist explained it to me is that MS causes our bodies to overwork in many ways and that extra stored energy isn't released in the normal ways, which backs up in our systems causing the extreme heat to not be released. There is an acupuncture point at the base of the throat,which releases the heat and I've found it extremely beneficial. You can also release this point yourself with just gentle pressure instead of a needle. Just hold it until you feel the heat go. I hope this helps.

I thought it was just me. It is winter here at the moment and everyone is rugging up. It is cold when you go to bed and then I wake up kicking the blankets off in the middle of the night as I am sweating.

I even got my Dr to check to see if I was starting menopause at 39. (I'm not) but must admit I am dredding that if I feel like this now.
I hate it and find it is hard dressing for the day or work-having to do layers now.
I look pretty silly walking around with no sleeve shirts at work and everyone else has stockings jackets and jumpers on.

It has to do with the inflammatory response of our nerve endings. Inflammation causes heat. Try following an anti-inflammation diet.

This body heat you are describing is totally me. I have always been hot yet probley always have had MS. Great question!

I relate. People have commented that I really heat up a room, (unfortunately not in a stimulating way) Some people want to blame it on menopause but I knew it is from my MS. I also have had it longer than since DX. This site is great in helping me feel more ?normal? At least - not alone. Thanks

I thought my hotness, especially at night was from the Copaxone. Are you on that? I also had a hysterectomy a few years ago and was thrown into menopause but no hotness like now. I sleep in crappy cotton ugly old lady sleepwear (those cotton nightgowns from little house on the prairie). So hot sometimes I soak the bed and I can't breath. Still the feet are COLD. Go figure. Gotta love this disease.

Probably had nothing to do with your drinking. Drink up and enjoy life when you can - isn't that what life is all about?

the heat makes us all worse, I just took my son the amusement park yesterday. we had a blast, but i am paying for it this morning.

I have developed this myself. I asked my GP about it, and no its not the change, I had a complete hysterectomy years ago. He said that it can happen in MS. He said our internal temp gage is broken,,lol
He said that perhaps where the lesions are has interupted it. Not much we can do. I now have one of those cooling wraps and place it on the base of my neck. It helps instantly.

hot all the time even when i am cold. I am warm to the touch like I have a fever.

my problem is that i am hot all the time in the winter and summer...i am sooooo tired of this too but love sitting in the middle of a foot of snow and feeling finally cold.:D and then i get chills all the time too.

Hot, hot, hot!!! I can never get cool. Even in the winter with 112 inches of snow, I am hot. I drive my hubby crazy.

A couple of drinks will raise the body temp - my son read up on that and looks at me funny whenever I am walking badly. It's his first question about what have I been drinking. It is so not fair to have these problems, is it?

Overdoing it - getting on treadmill, trying to do lawn work, going outside in the heat - they all raise my body temp and give me difficulty with mobility. Needless to say, I avoid the heat as much as possible and I take my ibuprofen before I even get on the treadmill. I'm down to 10 minutes again since I go through my little bouts of depression here and there and just don't have the gumption sometimes.

My body temp is something I monitor. When it is normal, it is 97.8 versus the 98.6. I used to argue with the nurse that if I'm above that, I have a fever - they now get it after all these years.

Anyway, I don't know if this helped at all - I think I started to have some night sweats around the time of diagnosis but that could be all the pre-menopause stuff.

OMGosh, I get so hot, I feel as though I could collapse! I have been like this for many years, even before my diagnosis, but lately it is worse. If I do any amount of moderate housework, I end up sweating and miserable. MS sucks!
