Lulu Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 i've had this at times, but it's generally fluctuating: i have ongoing problems with temperature regulation. i take warm showers and get under and electric blanket repeatedly in the winter, but rarely during this time of year, unless i get really cold from too much A/C! one thing dr. grubb told me was not to let myself get too cold/hot or in pain for too long, (presumably b/c this sets off autonomic responses?) i know you're still trying to figure out what's actually going on with you, but i did want to put that out there, in case it would be helpful to you (?) good luck, cardiactec! you've sure been having quite a time! sorry you're having such troubles! maybe there are some answers and you'll find them soon? i hope so, and feel better too!peace, lulu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marnian Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I'm cold very often too. At times, the chills are so bad that I'll be cuddled under 4 blankets in the same room as someone comfortable in a t-shirt. Other times though, I feel just fine. I've found that the best thing to do is just keep lots of layers/blankets around to try to be as comfortable as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmtaylor5 Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi,This happens to me at times and will last a few hours to a day or so at the longest. It's not consistent, though. I really hate it. My limbs and nose are very cold to the touch. Sometimes, when it stops, I go the other end of the spectrum and start to feel hot and eventually break out in a cold sweat. Other times, my body temp just returns to normal but during the transition, I have shivers, chatters, and chills similar to what happens after I've been given a dose of epinephrine.CarolynPS : I typed out a lengthy response to your last PM and it disappeared before I could hit send! I'll respond soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunsetParadise49 Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I'm often freezing...for instance right now I'm wearing long sleeved pajamas and pants lol. I think it's because most of us here have poor circulation. My feet are usually always freezing and sometimes they turn a blue/black color because they're that cold!

persephone Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Yes, I'm ALWAYS freezing. I think it's part of pots- it's something linked to blood pressure fluctuation/constriction of veins and arteries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 We got a/c this year and I have to go outside to get warm. My hands and feet are totally white most of the time and I always feel like if I took my body temp it would show 92 or something....I am never too hot, unless passing out...

MNsue Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I am also cold, however, I have been sweating and freezing at the same time lately. In the winter, I usually warm up a heating pad and wear it in my sweatshirt. I am thinking that I need to make a jacket with a liner that can heat up in the microwave that I could wear around the house. This would beat the too old to be pregnant look I have going now. Good Luck. It really is not much fun to be cold all the time. Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadine Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 can go from one extreme to the other temp wise in minutes. Sometimes freezing, chills, other times, hot, opening windows. Right now I am quite comfortable with the house at 64 degrees, with blanket and windows open. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willows Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I have Raynaud's so at times in the summer , or in fact anytime I can be freezing.The worst bout of being cold I ever had was when I was in Jamaica, it was about 3 in the afternoon and baking hot and there was I all wrapped up in woollies, jeans and a coat they took my temperature and it was 96 !!!!!Sometimes I lay in bed at night and my legs /back and feet are so cold I have to have a hot water bottle and thats just in the summer.In the winter sometimes its so cold ( when its just mild according to the weather forecaster) that I cant go out at all for days and days.I never leave the house without gloves, hats, scarves and always a full length coat on from September to may !Its to do with circulation, mine is very poor .Get a good high togged quilt for your bed and dont be afraid to sit downstairs with a fleecy blanket over your knees ? body , you can get some very pretty ones now. I may look like an old woman but at least I'm warm ...........anyhow Hubby always try to creep under with me Yet other times ( like now ) I can be so hot my temperature is 100 + and I dont have a bug !!!!It looks like our internal thermostat is all ' kerput'Best wishes....willows.
