Not in the way you describe.

I will get "hot flashes" that will result in me passing out even when it's cold in the room. I'm 25 so no menopause or anything. It just happens. My "normal" body temp is 97.3

hi- i do- guess my gauge is broke!!- but ya- its part of it 4 me

I'm like Shelly, I start to sweat when everyone else in the room is cold!

I get them both, lucky me. Hotter than hell one minute then freezing. Makes for a great nights sleep...yeesh, blankets off, blankets on

My feet feel like they are freezing but when I touch them they are burning up. We are all odd. Ha

That is exactly how i describe it to people, my temperature gauge is broken...i am usually hot but i also have moments when i am goosebumpy and cold when others are not.

Yep my gauge has busted to I thought It was menapause, but I really dont know

Same here....... hot, hot, hot!!! Maybe that's not a bad thing that all of us MS women are SO VERY HOT!!!! hee hee!!! ;)

yep that is me
My Hubby says my thermostat is broken
6 yrs ago this summer
it was 100 F out plus 90% humidity
I felt freezing. I had a big blanket on I was sweating like crazy to the point I had dehydrated myself
according to the thermometer my temp was up but that was not what I felt.
He finally got an air-conditioner so I would not over heat.

Now I can not keep myself from overheating. I like the room to be cool

It does seem that I am either cold or hot I go from one extreme to the other.
It seems I can not regulate my bodies temp anymore.

I go from from over heating to freezing...

Hi, when I was dx with thyroid problems ,I was sensitive to cold, then years went by,,,ms dx, heat sensitivity came too,,now people around me are very confused. LOL, mom turns fans or ac on because alma is coming!! Then I walk in and say It's too cold in here, there she goes, running to turn them off!! Sometimes It's the opposite, and sometimes she is not ready, and when I walk in the house, I'm told to set up as needed. When people care and want to keep us comfortable , we can drive them crazy!!! LOL

Alma

Thanks for all the feedback, glad to see that I am "normal" when it comes to the lovely MS symptons we have.
Lots of HUGS to everyone.

If my arms get the slightest chill..they burn..is that @$$ backwards or what????

Rincewind~ Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) is highly concentrated in hypothalamus which regulates temperature and sleep.

GABA also is a neuro calming neurotransmitter.

Research shows people with MS have LOW GABA so it seems like there would be problems regulating temp and sleeping normally.

ShellyTab~ Some with MS have also been found to have LOW sex hormones and if this is the case for you (hubby was way low when he was 32) this might give you menopause symptoms. Getting BIOIDENTICAL hormone replacement in low doses might help, you would have to speak to an endocrinologist that will treat LOW test results + symptoms. Many only treat the bottom 2.5% so if you are 5% and have symptoms they'll ignore your concerns.

Best wishes to both of you,

I frequently run a low grade fever of 99-101. I feel quite sick when that happens. Neuro could not figure it out but told me most MS patients have a normal temp of 97. My normal is 98.6.

I learned last year I have lesions in the brainstem. My thought is it is the autonomic nervous system being affected not just the CNS.

So many questions and so few answers. I just take Tylenol and try to deal with it.
