Body temperature

[Carly448]

Does anyone ever just suddenly get hot and sweaty. Hate it. New here. So many symptoms and pain with fibro. Wish there was a magic pill to make it all go away. Hate even wearing a bra.

[Dinkie]

Yep - wonky thermastat that's me. Sometimes the head sweats are beyond a joke. then there is the freezing cold feeling when everyone else is in T shirts and moaning how hot it is. Seems I can't win. I bet most fibro folk would admit to stripping off day clothes and putting pyjamas on as soon as they get in the door! I hate wearing anything restrictive which is quite a problem when I have to wear uniform for work. Haven't got any miracle cures I'm afraid. As for the magic pill just got to keep hoping on that one!

[Ramjets]

Oh yes and I get particularly hot and bothered when putting the bra (straight jacket) on. That's why I welcome the cooler weather as I can't bear getting overheated. Fibro just keeps on giving doesn't it! Maybe we should just burn all our bras, we could have a special event, The Great Fibro Fire where we all get together and incinerate our pesky underwear lol x

[Dinkie in reply to Ramjets]

oooh burn our bras - would love to but think I would get sore knees without my bra At least we are not alone in our thinking.

[Ramjets in reply to Dinkie]

Ha ha I know what you mean - just throw them over your shoulders like I do lol x

[Dinkie in reply to Ramjets]

That should be our theme tune - Jessie Matthews sang :-

So, over my shoulder goes one care

Over my shoulder go two cares

Why should I cry, it's blue above

I'm free at last

So was she talking about burning her bra - somehow I doubt it but it doesn't stop us adopting her song

[Ramjets in reply to Dinkie]

Ha ha love it! x

[Carly448 in reply to Dinkie]

Would love to burn all my bras. Lol

[Curlysue223]

[Hidden]

[Carly448 in reply to Hidden]

Seems to happen as soon as out of shower

[Hidden in reply to Carly448]

Yes an on the rare occasion I go out I'll get all hot getting ready !

[Hidden]

We've had bra chat a couple of times lately,like iv side bras are the invention of the devil lol

[Hidden]

I actually managed to get some bralet things an they fit nice an hold my bangers up :0)

[Hidden]

Yip due to my fibro I have no body temperature thermostat so I can go from boiling to freezing a hundred times a day. I also can't stand heat or cold. The joys !!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Hey how's u an your day been ? Did u manage to get out? Xx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

[Hidden]

My local tescos is always boiling! I hate having to go in there an primark is another one! Grrr

[Dinkie]

me too but then again I was a lot smaller in those days!

[Bobby16]

I find I can't function in hot weather. I have a tower fan there good.i don't take a cup of hot chocolate to bed I take my tower fan. I have a blanket or heated glove on my left hand cause it kicks the Raynaud's off so I can be roasting and freezing all at the same time. Double whammy.

[tallulah_blue in reply to Bobby16]

I sweat so badly just doing a little grocery shop, I've had ppl ask me am I having a heart attack and could the get me an ambulance.

I always have an icy cold drink if ever I'm going to have a hot drink or soup. I too go to bed with the air con, ceiling fan and pedestal fan trained on me and still I have night sweats that drench my head and wet the pillows & sheets.

Bras are pu bn lic enemy number one. I have taken to nakedness during both night & day at times (which helps). It seems the most minor of exercise or stress will set off the rivulets.

No pills help. All the docs scratch their heads - no explanation from any of them

[Bobby16]

Oh what's a bralett?

[Killyraw]

Yes, hot then cold never really under control. I sweat under my eyes its not a good look, and generally I would be more comfortable if I could be naked but I done want to scare my few friends away😃

[Mackembabe]

Yes I think we aught to get a plumber in to sort out our thermastats your either freezing cold and can't get warm or you could fry an egg on us the life of a fibro warrior such fun lol

Love & Hugs

Xx

[Bobby16]

You could fry an egg on mine and do a tray of ice cubes at the same time. My brain must think what the hells going on.

[spider555]

My thermostat is wonky.

I'm going back to the Neuro hospital soon, for more tests.

[Nutty-Tart]

I too have intense hot/ cold spells but took me a while to realise it was fibro - well most of the time anyway. I say that because I am prone to water infections so don't always assume its fibro is what I am saying. I know we are all fed up of checking things out with a medic but sometimes you have to. I have had fibro about 20 years & it never ceases to amaze me how many different symptoms it has. All the best for the future.

[eclegmata]

Definitely burn the bra...try wearing one of those sport bar tops & if it's Men-O-Pause as well,then try lemon & ginger tea. Mint is also a good cooling agent. (The wheat germ/lavender or mint pillows can help too) Wear natural fibres in layers,cotton,linen,hemp. I recently discovered that bamboo sox are apparently good for diabetics & I've found the cheapest at TKMaXX,all natural fibres again. Basically try stay away from too many synthetics.

Peace & perseverance
