Ranga Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Today, I woke up feeling nice and warm. Then when I went out for a walk, the cold wind hit me along with the sharp sun, and since then, my body has been struggling to get to balance, and I am either too cold (especially the shoulders) or too warm (in the core). I find that my BP also goes up when this happens. I just happened to check my Fitbit skin temperature, and noticed a drop in skin temperature today. And my body temperature (oral) was 96.1, while it's typically 97. Interestingly over the weekend, I was outdoors most of the day in colder weather, and my skin temperature went up, but apart from overheating a bit when in direct sun, I wasn't affected by the cold. Anyone have experience with tracking their skin/body temperature who can interpret what's going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Well my normal morning oral temp is 97.1. I have seen lower thermal skin (covid temp check) go into the 96's to upper 95's on a cold day. temps always go up once i become active. could be just a circulation thing.

Yes it definitely is a circulation thing, but what seems to happen when I cool down, is my abdomen/pelvis starts acting up - multiple BMs, multiple peeing episodes, etc. It takes a couple of hours to warm up enough, sometimes by warming my feet in warm water, having something dense to eat to warm up the gut, before I am able to lie down, but if I cover up my core, I overheat, so this can be all night process and I am just lying down and resting most of the time, and If I am lucky, I can fall asleep. When REM sleep hits, my thermoregulation is off again, waking me up. The struggle is to retain body heat once it cools down, without overheating. It's a fine balancing act, and seems to get harder in cold weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranga Posted October 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Did it in 2021. Seemed normal except for Free T4 at 0.97. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
