Struggling with Temperature Regulation

This happens to me all the time

I do too. It is so frustrating

People told me for the longest time that my hot flashes and sweating were peri-menopause. Nope. And nope. I just can't regulate. And it doesn't matter the weather....sweats or shivers come on randomly at any time.

Im learning sooo much from you all. I thought it was just me...😥

One of the worst parts of fibro is the temperature sensitivity. If it's over 85 or under 50 I cannot leave the house.

I seem to always be an extreme- in the heat I can be shivering or boiling, and when it's cold I'm either outside in summer clothes or inside unable to get warm at all

Yup 100%. I've got fibro, autism, and POTS so all of that jumbled together makes temperature (especially heat) practically unbearable lol

Absolutely. I get too hot or too cold all of the time. I always carry a fan and fingerless gloves in my purse if I get to hot or cold. I think it has to do with fibromyalgia connection to central sensitization syndrome.

Yes but my problem is im freezing cold when i wake up and burning hot when im sleeping. 😫

Just FYI some medications can also cause issues with temp regulation (especially summer) but I think this is common in fibromyalgia

Yuuup. Pass out a lot in the summer from AC to heat, and am always turning the cooling down in my house. Also in winter I can't get warm without external sources, heating pad plus a warm shower b4 bed or I can't sleep bc of my feet.

I do I'm also so sensitive to temperature now it's horrid the cold is setting my pain off more 😔

omg this is a FM thing??? I had no idea bc yes all the time (currently typing with shorts and a tank top on.. it’s snowing)
